A rocket is in the form of a circular cylinder closed at the lower end with a cone of the same radius attached to the top. The cylinder is of radius 2.5 m and height 21 m and the cone has the slant height 8 m. Calculate the total surface area and the volume of the rocket. |

Answer» Given, Radius of the cylindrical portion of the rocket (R) = 2.5 m Height of the cylindrical portion of the rocket (H) = 21 m Slant Height of the Conical surface of the rocket (L) = 8 m Curved Surface Area of the Cone (S1) = πRL = π(2.5)(8)= 20π And, Curved Surface Area of the Cone (S2) = 2πRH + πR2 S2 = (2π × 2.5 × 21) + π (2.5)2 S2 = (π × 105) + (π × 6.25) Thus, the total curved surface area S is S = S1 + S2 S = (π20) + (π105) + (π6.25) S = (22/7)(20 + 105 + 6.25) = 22/7 x 131.25 S = 412.5 m2 Therefore, the total Surface Area of the Conical Surface = 412.5 m2 Now, calculating the volume of the rocket Volume of the conical part of the rocket (V1) = 1/3 × 22/7 × R2 × h V1 = 1/3 × 22/7 × (2.5)2 × h Let, h be the height of the conical portion in the rocket. We know that, L2 = R2 + h2 h2 = L2 – R2 = 82 – 2.52 h = 7.6 m Using the value of h, we will get Volume of the conical part (V1) = 1/3 × 22/7 × 2.52 × 7.6 m2 = 49.67 m2 Next, Volume of the Cylindrical Portion (V2) = πR2h V2 = 22/7 × 2.52 × 21 = 412.5 m2 Thus, the total volume of the rocket = V1 + V2 V = 412.5 + 49.67 = 462.17 m2 Hence, the total volume of the Rocket is 462.17 m2 |
