एक लड़का 140 प्रति मिनट चक्करों के हिसाब से साइकिल चलाता है। यदि पहिये का व्यास 60 सेमी है। तो लड़के द्वारा चलायी गयी साइकिल की चाल प्रति घण्टा ज्ञात कीजिए। |
|
Answer» पहिये का व्यास = 60 सेमी पहिये की त्रिज्या r = 60/2 = 30 सेमी साइकिल द्वारा 1 चक्कर में चली दूरी = पहिये की परिधि = 2πr = 2 x 22/7 x 30 = 1320/7 सेमी ∵ लड़के द्वारा 1 मिनट में लगाये चक्करों की संख्या = 140 तब, 140 चक्करों में चली दूरी = 1320/7 x 140 = 26400 सेमी = 26400/1000 x 100 किमी = 0.264 किमी तथा समय = 1 घण्टा = 60 मिनट ∵ 1 मिनट में चली गई दूरी = 0.264 किमी ∴ 60 मिनट में चली गई दूरी = 0.264 x 60 = 15.84 किमी अतः साइकिल की चाल = 15.84 किमी/घण्टा |

Find the capacity of rectangular cistern in liters whose dimensions are 11.2 m × 6m × 5.8m. Find the area of the iron sheet required to make the cistern. |
|
Answer» We know that volume of cuboid = length × breadth × height Volume of the cistern = 11.2 × 6 × 5.8 = 389.76 m3 = 389.76 × 1000 = 389760 liters. Area of the sheet that required to make the cistern = total surface area of the cistern we know that total surface area of cuboid= 2(l b + b h + h l) = 2 (11.22 × 6 + 6 × 5.8 + 5.8 × 11.2) = 2 (67.2 + 64.96 + 34.8) = 333.92 cm2 |
