13.	A cylindrical pillar is 50 cm in diameter and 3.5 m in height. Find the cost of painting the curved surface of the pillar at the rate of Rs.12.50 per m2. [ Assume π = 22/7 ]
Answer» Height (h) cylindrical pillar = 3.5 m Radius (r) of the circular end of pillar = 50/2 cm =25cm = 0.25m CSA of pillar = 2πrh = (2 x 22/7 x 0.25 x 3.5)m² = (44 x 0.125)m² = 5.5m² Cost of painting 1 m² area = Rs 12.50 Cost of painting 5.5 m² area = Rs (5.5 × 12.50) = Rs 68.75 Therefore, the cost of painting the CSA of the pillar is Rs 68.75.

A cylindrical pillar is 50 cm in diameter and 3.5 m in height. Find the cost of painting the curved surface of the pillar at the rate of Rs.12.50 per m2. [ Assume π = 22/7 ]

Answer»

Height (h) cylindrical pillar = 3.5 m

Radius (r) of the circular end of pillar

= 50/2 cm =25cm = 0.25m

CSA of pillar = 2πrh

= (2 x 22/7 x 0.25 x 3.5)m²

= (44 x 0.125)m² = 5.5m²

Cost of painting 1 m² area = Rs 12.50

Cost of painting 5.5 m² area = Rs (5.5 × 12.50) = Rs 68.75

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

14.	The inner diameter of a circular well is 3.5 m. It is 10 m deep. Find(i) Its inner curved surface area,(ii) The cost of plastering this curved surface at the rate of Rs 40 per m2.[ Assume π = 22/7 ]
Answer» Inner radius (r) of circular well = (3.5/2)m = 1.75m Depth (h) of circular well = 10 m Inner curved surface area = 2πrh = (2 x 22/7 x 1.75 x 10) m² = (44 x 0.25 x 10) m² = 110 m² Therefore, the inner curved surface area of the circular well is 110 m². Cost of plastering 1 m² area = Rs 40 Cost of plastering 100 m² area = Rs (110 × 40) = Rs 4400 Therefore, the cost of plastering the CSA of this well is Rs 4400.

The inner diameter of a circular well is 3.5 m. It is 10 m deep. Find(i) Its inner curved surface area,(ii) The cost of plastering this curved surface at the rate of Rs 40 per m2.[ Assume π = 22/7 ]

Answer»

Inner radius (r) of circular well = (3.5/2)m = 1.75m

Depth (h) of circular well = 10 m

Inner curved surface area = 2πrh

= (2 x 22/7 x 1.75 x 10) m²

= (44 x 0.25 x 10) m²

= 110 m²

Therefore, the inner curved surface area of the circular well is 110 m².

Cost of plastering 1 m² area = Rs 40

Cost of plastering 100 m² area = Rs (110 × 40) = Rs 4400

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

15.	The inner diameter of a cylindrical wooden pipe is 24 cm and its outer diameter is 28 cm. The length of the pipe is 35 cm. Find the mass of the pipe, if 1 cm3 of wood has a mass of 0.6 gm.
Answer» Let r and R be the inner and outer radii of cylindrical pipe. Inner radius of a cylindrical pipe (r) = \(\frac{24}{2}\) = 12 cm Outer radius of a cylindrical pipe (R) = \(\frac{24}{2}\) = 14 cm Height of pipe (h) = length of pipe = 35 cm Mass of pipe = volume x density = π(R² – r²)h = \(\frac{22}{7}\)(14² – 12²)35 = 5720 Mass of pipe is 5720 cm³ Mass of 1 cm³ wood = 0.6 gm Therefore, mass of 5720 cm³ wood = 5720 x 0.6 = 3432 gm = 3.432 kg

The inner diameter of a cylindrical wooden pipe is 24 cm and its outer diameter is 28 cm. The length of the pipe is 35 cm. Find the mass of the pipe, if 1 cm3 of wood has a mass of 0.6 gm.

Answer»

Let r and R be the inner and outer radii of cylindrical pipe.

Inner radius of a cylindrical pipe (r) = \(\frac{24}{2}\) = 12 cm

Outer radius of a cylindrical pipe (R) = \(\frac{24}{2}\) = 14 cm

Height of pipe (h) = length of pipe = 35 cm

Mass of pipe = volume x density = π(R² – r²)h

= \(\frac{22}{7}\)(14² – 12²)35

= 5720

Mass of pipe is 5720 cm³

Mass of 1 cm³ wood = 0.6 gm

Therefore, mass of 5720 cm³ wood = 5720 x 0.6

= 3432 gm

= 3.432 kg

In a hot water heating system, there is a cylindrical pipe of length 28 m and diameter 5 cm. Find the total radiating surface in the system.

Answer»

Given that

Height of cylinder = length of cylindrical pipe = 28 m.

Radius (r) of circular end of pipe = 5/2 cm = 2.5 cm = 0.025 m

Curved surface area of cylindrical pipe = 2πrh

= 2 x 3.14 x 0.025 x 28 = 4.4 cm

The area of radiation surface of the system is 4.4 m² or 44000 cm²

The American colony was actually a colony where the descendants of British people rebelled against Britain, whereas in India the rebellion was by the natives. 4. The United States relied on the assistance of France, while India had no externally. 5. The British policy in America was to displace the native population and settle the territory as English territory, while India was more densely populated and the British policy centered on economic exploitation rather than full displacement and incorporation. 6. The American Revolution took place just before the Industrial Revolution (when colonial arms were as good as British arms). The Indian Independence Movement took place well into the Industrial Revolution (when home country arms were potentially much better).

Give two points of difference between : Instrumental Music Vocal Music (1) ......(2) ......

Answer»

Instrumental Music	Vocal Music
(1) Instruments are used.	The voice (vocal cords) are used.
(2) Some part of the body is used as a medium to produce the sound, but the final sound is produced by the instrument.	Some parts of the body aid the production of sound (e.g., lungs, vocal tract, etc.), but the final sound emerges through the mouth.
(3) The output of the instrument is more or less of the same type, although the way the musician plays can give it an individualistic flavour.	Individual voices vary from the very low bass to the very high tenor. Hence the output varies and is very individualistic.
(4) An instrument can hardly be expected to sound like a voice (although some musicians try).	The voice can be used to imithte the sound of an instrument.

35.	‘Music is the medicine of the mind’. Narrate an experience that leads to the above conclusion. Write it in your own words
Answer» Music is the medicine of the mind Music is good therapy. It is particularly effective because it registers on multiple sites of the brain. This means that even if the brain is very badly affected by a stroke or illness, there are s^till parts of the brain that recognise music. I remember how upset all of us were when Grandfather suffered a stroke. The left side of his body and almost all of his face were affected. The once great and active Grandpa now lay still on the bed and had to be fed through a tube going down his nostrils. Little Rani could not stop weeping. Grandfather had once presented me with a mobile phone. He knew my love for music and had told me I could download my favourite songs and create a playlist and listen to them whenever I wanted to. I would sit by Grandfather’s bed whenever I was at home and had finished my studies and play the songs and listen to them. One evening, to my surprise, I saw a shadow of a smile beginning to appear on Grandpa’s face. At first I couldn’t believe it. Then it became more definite and prominent. Grandpa was actually smiling! I called Mom and Dad and Rani and everyone to see. Yes, Grandpa was indeed smiling. The music had reached out to him and had drawn out a response from him. That was one of the happiest moments during his illness.

‘Music is the medicine of the mind’. Narrate an experience that leads to the above conclusion. Write it in your own words

Answer»

Music is the medicine of the mind Music is good therapy. It is particularly effective because it registers on multiple sites of the brain. This means that even if the brain is very badly affected by a stroke or illness, there are s^till parts of the brain that recognise music.

I remember how upset all of us were when Grandfather suffered a stroke. The left side of his body and almost all of his face were affected. The once great and active Grandpa now lay still on the bed and had to be fed through a tube going down his nostrils. Little Rani could not stop weeping.

Grandfather had once presented me with a mobile phone. He knew my love for music and had told me I could download my favourite songs and create a playlist and listen to them whenever I wanted to.

39.	What do you learn from Einstein’s treatment of the young man?
Answer» From Einstein’s treatment of the young man, we learn that Einstein expected others to be truthful. He questioned the young man and managed to persuade him into trying to understand another point of view. This shows Einstein as a man who gave importance to the perceptions of others, but at the same time, was quite persistent about his own viewpoint. Being a man of science, he liked to use the question-answer method to put across his point of view.
