Exercise 13.2

1. The curved surface area of a right circular cylinder of height $14 \mathrm{~cm}$ is $88 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}$. Find the diameter of the base of the cylinder. $\left[\right.$ Assume $\left.\pi=\dfrac{22}{7}\right]$

Ans: Height (h) of cylinder $-14 \mathrm{~cm}$

Let the diameter of the cylinder be $\mathrm{d}$

Curved surface area of cylinder $=88~\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{2}}$

$\Rightarrow 2\pi r\text{h}=88~\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{2}}(r$ is the radius of the base of the cylinder)

$\Rightarrow \pi dh=88~\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{2}}\ $

$\Rightarrow \left[ \dfrac{22}{7}\times d\times 14 \right]\text{cm}\ \text{=}\ 88~\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{2}} $

$\Rightarrow \ d\ =\ \dfrac{88\ \times \ 7}{22\ \times \ 14}\ =\ 2\ cm$

Therefore, the diameter of the base of the cylinder is $2 \mathrm{~cm}$.


2. It is required to make a closed cylindrical tank of height $1 \mathrm{~m}$ and base diameter $140 \mathrm{~cm}$ from a metal sheet. How many square meters of the sheet are required for the same? $\left[\right.$ Assume $\left.\pi=\dfrac{22}{7}\right]$

Ans: Height (h) of cylindrical tank - $1 \mathrm{~m}$

Base radius (r) of cylindrical tank $=\ \dfrac{140}{2}~\text{cm}\ \text{=}\ 70~\text{cm}\ \text{=}\ 0.7~\text{m}$

Area of sheet required = Total surface area of tank $=2\pi r(r+h)$

\[=\ 2\ \times \ \dfrac{22}{7}\ \times \ 0.7\ \left( 0.7\ +\ 1 \right)\ {{m}^{2}}\]

\[=\ 4.4\ \times 1.7\ =\ 7.48\ {{m}^{2}}\]

Therefore, it will require $7.48 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$ area of sheet.


3.  A metal pipe is $77 \mathrm{~cm}$ long. The inner diameter of a cross-section is $4 \mathrm{~cm}$, the outer diameter being $4.4 \mathrm{~cm}$, Find:

i) Inner curved surface area,

ii) Outer curved surface area,

iii) Total surface area. $\left[\right.$ Assume $\left.\pi=\dfrac{22}{7}\right]$

Ans: Inner radius $\left( {{\text{r}}_{1}} \right)$ of cylindrical pipe $=\dfrac{4}{2}~\text{cm}=2~\text{cm}$

Outer radius $\left(\mathrm{r}_{2}\right)$ of cylindrical pipe $=\dfrac{4.4}{2} \mathrm{~cm}=2.2 \mathrm{~cm}$

Height (h) of cylindrical pipe = Length of cylindrical pipe $=77~\text{cm}$

(i) $\mathrm{CS} \mathrm{A}$ of inner surface of pipe $=2\pi {{\text{r}}_{1}}\text{h}$

$=\left( 2\times \dfrac{22}{7}\times 2\times 77 \right)\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{2}}=968~\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{2}}$


(ii) $\mathrm{CS} \mathrm{A}$ of outer surface of pipe $=2\pi {{\text{r}}_{2}}\text{h}$

$=\left( 2\times \dfrac{22}{7}\times 2.2\times 77 \right)\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{2}}=(22\times 22\times 2.2)\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{2}}\ =\ 1064.8\ c{{m}^{2}}$


(iii) Total surface area of pipe = CSA of inner surface + CSA of outer surface + Area of both circular ends of pipe.

$=\ 2\pi {{r}_{1}}h+2\pi {{r}_{2}}h+2\pi \left( r_{2}^{2}-r_{1}^{2} \right) $

$=\ \left[ 968+1064.8+2\pi \left\{ {{(2.2)}^{2}}-{{(2)}^{2}} \right\} \right]\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{2}} $

$=\left( 2032.8+2\times \dfrac{22}{7}\times 0.84 \right)\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{2}} $

$=\ (2032.8+5.28)\ \text{c}{{\text{m}}^{2}}=\ \ 2038.08~\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{2}} $

Therefore, the total surface area of the cylindrical pipe is $2038.08 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}$.


4. The diameter of a roller is $84 \mathrm{~cm}$ and its length is $120 \mathrm{~cm}$. It takes 500 complete revolutions to move once over to level a playground. Find the area of the playground in $\mathrm{m}^{2}$? $\left[\right.$ Assume $\left.\pi=\dfrac{22}{7}\right]$

Ans: It can be observed that a roller is cylindrical.

Height (h) of cylindrical roller = Length of roller $=120 \mathrm{~cm}$

Radius (r) of the circular end of roller $=\dfrac{84}{2}~\text{cm}=42~\text{cm}$

CSA of roller $=2 \pi t h$

$=\left( 2\times \dfrac{22}{7}\times 42\times 120 \right)\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{2}}\ =\ 31680~\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{2}}$

Area of field $=500\times $ CSA of roller

$=\ (500\times 31680)\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{2}}$

$=15840000~\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{2}}=1584~{{\text{m}}^{2}} $


5. A cylindrical pillar is $50 \mathrm{~cm}$ in diameter and $3.5 \mathrm{~m}$ in height. Find the cost of painting the curved surface of the pillar at the rate of Rs 12 .50 per $\left[\right.$ Assume $\left.\pi=\dfrac{22}{7}\right]$

Ans: Height (h) cylindrical pillar $=3.5 \mathrm{~m}$

Radius (r) of the circular end of pillar \[=\dfrac{50}{2}~\text{cm}\ \text{=}\ 25~\text{cm}\ \text{=}\ 0.25~\text{m}\]

CSA of pillar $=2\pi rh$

$=\left(2 \times \dfrac{22}{7} \times 0.25 \times 3.5\right) \mathrm{m}^{2}$

$=(44\times 0.125){{\text{m}}^{2}}=5.5~{{\text{m}}^{2}}$

Cost of painting $1 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$ area $\text{=}\ \text{Rs}.12.50$

Cost of painting $5.5 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$ area $=(5.5\times 12.50)$

$=\mathrm{Rs} .68 .75$

Therefore, the cost of painting the CSA of the pillar is Rs. 68.75.


6. Curved surface area of a right circular cylinder is $4.4 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$. If the radius of the base of the cylinder is $0.7 \mathrm{~m}$, find its height. $\left[\right.$ Assume $\left.\pi=\dfrac{22}{7}\right]$

Ans: Let the height of the circular cylinder be $h$

Radius (r) of the base of cylinder $=0.7 \mathrm{~m}$

CSA of cylinder $=4.4~{{\text{m}}^{2}}$ 

$\Rightarrow \ \ 2\pi \text{rh}=4.4~{{\text{m}}^{2}}$ 

$\Rightarrow \ \left[ 2\times \dfrac{22}{7}\times 0.7\times h \right]=4.4~{{\text{m}}^{2}}$ 

$~\Rightarrow \ \text{h}\ =\ \dfrac{4.4\ \times \ 7}{2\ \times 22\ \times \ 0.7}\ =\ 1m$

Therefore, the height of the cylinder is$1 \mathrm{~m}$.


7. The inner diameter of a circular well is$3.5 \mathrm{~m}$. It is $10 \mathrm{~m}$ deep. Find

(i)  Inner curved surface area,

(ii) The cost of plastering this curved surface at the rate of Rs. 40 per m2 . $\left[\right.$ Assume $\left.\pi=\dfrac{22}{7}\right]$

Ans:  Inner radius (r) of circular well $=\left( \dfrac{3.5}{2} \right)\text{m}=1.75~\text{m}$

Depth of well = $=\ 10\ m$

(i) Inner curved surface area $=2\pi \text{rh}$

$=\left( 2\times \dfrac{22}{7}\times 1.75\times 10 \right){{\text{m}}^{2}} $

$=\ (44\times 0.25\times 10){{\text{m}}^{2}}=110~{{\text{m}}^{2}}$

Therefore, the inner curved surface area of the circular well is $110 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$.


(ii) Cost of plastering $1 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$ area = Rs. 40

Cost of plastering $100 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$ area $\text{=Rs}(110\times 40)=\text{Rs}.4400$

Therefore, the cost of plastering the CSA of this well is Rs.4400.


8. In a hot water heating system, there is a cylindrical pipe of length $28 \mathrm{~m}$ and diameter $5 \mathrm{~cm}$. Find the total radiating surface in the system. $\left[\right.$ Assume $\left.\pi=\dfrac{22}{7}\right]$

Ans: Height (h) of cylindrical pipe  = Length of cylindrical pipe $=28~\text{m}$

Radius $(\mathrm{r})$ of circular end of pipe $=\dfrac{5}{2}=2.5~\text{cm}\ \text{=}\ \,0.025~\text{m}$

CSA of cylindrical pipe  $=\ 2\pi rh$

$=\ \left( 2\times \dfrac{22}{7}\times 0.025\times 28 \right){{\text{m}}^{2}}=4.4~{{\text{m}}^{2}}$

The area of the radiating surface of the system is$4.4 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$.


9. Find:

(i) The lateral or curved surface area of a closed cylindrical petrol storage tank that is $4.2 \mathrm{~m}$ in diameter and $4.5 \mathrm{~m}$ high.

(ii) How much steel was actually used, if $\dfrac{1}{12}$ of the steel actually used was wasted in making the tank? $\left[ {} \right.$Assume $\left.\pi=\dfrac{22}{7}\right]$

Ans: Height (h) of cylindrical tank $=4.5 \mathrm{~m}$

Radius (r) of the circular end of cylindrical tank $=\left(\dfrac{4.2}{2}\right) \mathrm{m}=2.1 \mathrm{~m}$

(i) Lateral or curved surface area of tank $=2\pi rh$

$=\left( 2\times \dfrac{22}{7}\times 2.1\times 4.5 \right){{\text{m}}^{2}}\ =\ (44\times 0.3\times 4.5){{\text{m}}^{2}}\ =\ 59.4~{{\text{m}}^{2}}$

Therefore, CSA of tank is$59.4 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$.


(ii) Total surface area of tank $=2\pi r(r+h)$

$=\left( 2\times \dfrac{22}{7}\times 2.1\times (2.1+4.5) \right){{\text{m}}^{2}} $

$ =\ (44\times 0.3\times 6.6){{\text{m}}^{2}}=87.12~{{\text{m}}^{2}}$

Let A $\mathrm{m}^{2}$ steel sheet be actually used in making the tank.

$\therefore A\left( 1-\dfrac{1}{12} \right)=87.12~{{\text{m}}^{2}} $

$\Rightarrow A=\left( \dfrac{12}{11}\times 87.12 \right){{\text{m}}^{2}} $

$\Rightarrow \text{A}\ \text{=}\ 95.04~{{\text{m}}^{2}} $

Therefore, $95.04 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$ steel was used in actual while making such a tank.


10. In the given figure, you see the frame of a lampshade. It is to be covered with a decorative cloth. The frame has a base diameter of $20 \mathrm{~cm}$ and height of $30 \mathrm{~cm}$. A margin of $2.5 \mathrm{~cm}$ is to be given for folding it over the top and bottom of the frame. Find bow much cloth is required for covering the lampshade. $\left[\right.$ Assume $\left.\pi=\dfrac{22}{7}\right]$

Ans: Height (h) of the frame of lampshade $=(2.5+30+2.5)\text{cm}\ \text{=}\ 35~\text{cm}$

Radius (r) of the circular end of the frame of lampshade $=\dfrac{20}{2}~\text{cm}\ \text{=}\ 10~\text{cm}$

Cloth required for covering the lampshade $=\ 2\pi rh$

$=\left( 2\times \dfrac{22}{7}\times 10\times 35 \right)\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{2}}=2200~\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{2}}$

Hence, for covering the lampshade, $2200 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}$ cloth will be required.


11. The students of a Vidyalaya were asked to participate in a competition for making and decorating penholders in the shape of a cylinder with a base, using cardboard. Each penholder was to be of radius $3 \mathrm{~cm}$ and height $10.5 \mathrm{~cm}$. The Vidyalaya was to supply the competitors with cardboard. If there were 35 competitors, how mach cardboard was required to be bought for the competition? $\left[ Assume\ \pi \ =\ \dfrac{22}{7} \right]$ 

Ans: Radius (r) of the circular end of cylindrical penholder $=3~\text{cm}$

Height (h) of penholder $=10.5 \mathrm{~cm}$

Surface area of 1 penholder = CSA of penholder + Area of base of penholder $=2\pi rh\ +\ \pi {{r}^{2}}$

$=\left( 2\times \dfrac{22}{7}\times 3\times 10.5+\dfrac{22}{7}\times {{(3)}^{2}} \right)\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{2}} $

$=\left( 132\times 1.5+\dfrac{198}{7} \right)\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{2}} $

$=\left( 198+\dfrac{198}{7} \right)\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{2}}=\dfrac{1584}{7}~\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{2}}$

Area of card board sheet used by 1 competitor $=\dfrac{1584}{7} \mathrm{~cm}^{2}$

Area of cardboard sheet used by 35 competitors $=\left( \dfrac{1584}{7}\times 35 \right)\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{2}}$ $=7920~\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{2}}$

Therefore, $7920 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}$ cardboard sheet will be bought.
