A reservoir in the form of the frustum of a right circular cone contains 44 × 107 litres of water which fills it completely. The radii of the bottom and top of the reservoir are 50 metres and 100 metres respectively. Find the depth of water and the lateral surface area of the reservoir.(Take π = \(\frac{22}7\))

Answer»

Let height and slant height of the frustum be h and l. 

Radius, r’ = 100 m, r’’ = 50 m 

Volume of frustum = 44 × 107 litres = 44 × 104 m3 

\(\frac{1}3\times\frac{22}7(100^2 + 50^2 + 100\times50)h\) = 44 x 107

h = \(\frac{{44}\times{10}^4 \times{7}\times{3}}{{22} \times{17500}}\) = 24 m

Slant height, l = \(\sqrt{(r' - r")^2 + h^2}\)

⇒ l = \(\sqrt{(100- 50)^2 + 24^2}\)

⇒ l = 55.46 m 

Lateral surface area of the frustum = π l (r’ + r’’) 

\(\frac{22}7\times55.46 \times150\)

= 26145.4 m2

28457.

If the surface area of sphere is 616 cm2, then its radius is A) 3.5 cm B) 7 cm C) 14 cm D) 21 cm

Answer»

Correct option is (B) 7 cm

Let radius of the sphere is r cm.

\(\therefore\) \(4\pi r^2=616\)   \((\because\) Surface area of sphere \(=4\pi r^2)\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(r^2=\frac{616}{4\pi}=\frac{616\times7}{4\times22}\)

\(=\frac{28\times7}4=7\times7=7^2\)

\(\Rightarrow\) r = 7

Hence, radius of sphere is 7 cm.

Correct option is   B) 7 cm

28459.

28460.

A sphere and a hemisphere have same radius What is the ratio of volume of the sphere to volume of the hemisphere?

Answer»

Radius of sphere = r = radius of hemisphere

Volume of sphere = 4/3 πr3

Volume of hemisphere = 2/3 πr3

∴ Ratios of volumes = 4/3 πr3 : 2/3 πr3

= 4 : 2 = 2 : 1

= 9.42 × 100 

= 942 cm2

Teacher in his class brought a Rubix Cube. He wanted to explain surfaces and volumes of the Rubix Cube. He explained that the Rubix cube is a combination of smaller cubes. It contains cubes in 3 x 3 x 3 manner each cube has 2 cm x 2 cm x 2 cm 1. What is the surface area when only nine cubes are considered \( (3 *3*1) \) ? 2. What is the total surface area when one cube is removed from corner?

Answer»

(1) When 9 cubes (3 x 3 x 1) are considered then it becomes a cuboid whose

length(l) = 3a = 3 x 2 cm = 6 cm

breadth (b)  = 3a = 3 x 2 cm = 6 cm

height(h) = a = 2 cm

\(\therefore\) Surface area = 2(lb + bh + hl)

 = 2(6 x 6 + 6 x 2 + 2 x 6) cm2

 = 2 (36 + 12 + 12) cm2

 = 2 x 60 cm2

 = 120 cm2

(2) When one cube of 2cm is removed at the corner then total surface area

 = Total surface area of bigger cube - surface area of three sides of small cube + surface area of three new formed sides of small cubes after removing a cube from

 = 6A2 - 3a2 + 3a2

 = 6A2 = 6(3a)2 = 6(3 x 2)2= 63 = 216 cm

28463.

How is polythene manufactured? Give their properties and uses.

Answer»

LDP means low density polyethylene. LDP is obtained by polymerization of ethylene under high pressure (1000 – 2000 atm) and temperature (350 – 570 K) in presence of traces of O2 or peroxide as initiator.

The mechanism of this reaction involves free radical addition and H-atom abstraction. The latter results in branching. As a result the chains are loosely held and the polymer has low density.

Properties of LDP :

  • LDP films are extremely flexible, but tough chemically inert and moisture resistant. 
  • It is poor conductor of electricity with melting point 110 °C.

Uses of LDP :

  • LDP is mainly used in preparation of pipes for agriculture, irrigation, domestic water line connections as well as insulation to electric cables.
  • It is also used in submarine cable insulation. 
  • It is used in producing extruded films, sheets, mainly for packaging and household uses like in preparation of squeeze bottles, attractive containers, etc.

 HDP means high density polyethylene. It is a linear polymer with high density due to close packing.

HDP is obtained by polymerization of ethene in presence of Zieglar-Natta catalyst which is a combination of triethyl aluminium with titanium tetrachloride at a temperature of 333K to 343K and a pressure of 6-7 atm.

Properties of HDP :

  • HDP is crystalline, melting point in the range of 144 – 150 °C. 
  • It is much stiffer than LDP and has high tensile strength and hardness. 
  • It is more resistant to chemicals than LDP.

 Uses of HDP :

  • HDP is used in manufacture of toys and other household articles like buckets, dustbins, bottles, pipes, etc. 
  • It is used to prepare laboratory wares and other objects where high tensile strength and stiffness is required.
