Question 1.
A metallic sphere of radius 4.2 cm. is melted and recast into the shape of a cylinder of radius 6 cm. Find the height of the cylinder.
Answer:
Given, sphere converted into cylinder.
Hence volume of the sphere = volume of the cylinder.
Sphere:
Radius, r = 4.2 cm
Volume V = \(\frac{4}{3}\)πr³
= \(\frac{4}{3}\) × \(\frac{22}{7}\) × 4.2 × 4.2 × 4.2
= 4 × 22 × 0.2 × 4.2 × 4.2
= 4 x 22 x 0.2 x 4.2 x 4.2
= 310.464
Cylinder:
Radius, r = 6 cm
Height h = h say
Volume = πr²h
= \(\frac{22}{7}\) × 6 × 6 × h
= \(\frac{22 \times 36}{7} h\)
= \(\frac{792}{7} h\)
Hence, \(\frac{792}{7} h\) = 310.464
h = \(\frac{310.464 \times 7}{792}\) = 2.744cm
!! π can be cancelled on both sides i.e., sphere = cylinder

Question 2.
Three metallic spheres of radii 6 cm., 8 cm. and 10 cm. respectively are melted together to form a single solid sphere. Find the radius of the resulting sphere.
Answer:
Given : Radii of the three spheres r₁ = 6 cm r₂ = 8 cm r₃ = 10 cm
These three are melted to form a single sphere.
Let the radius of the resulting sphere be ‘r’.
Then volume of the resultant sphere = sum of the volumes of the three small spheres.


∴ 1728 = (2 × 2 × 3) × (2 × 2 × 3) × (2 × 2 × 3)
r³ = 12 × 12 × 12
r³ = 12³
∴ r = 12
Thus the radius of the resultant sphere = 12 cm

Question 3.
A 20 m deep well with diameter 7 m. is dug and the earth got by digging is evenly spread out to form a rectangu¬lar platform of base 22 m. × 14 m. Find the height of the platform.
Answer:
Volume of earth taken out = πr²h
= \(\frac{22}{7}\) × \(\frac{7}{2}\) × \(\frac{7}{2}\) × 20
= 770 m
Let height of plot form = H m.
∴ 22 × 14 × H = \(\frac{22}{7}\) × \(\frac{7}{2}\) × \(\frac{7}{2}\) × 20
H = \(\frac{35}{14}\) = \(\frac{5}{2}\) = \(2 \frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~m}\)
∴ The height of the plat form is \(2 \frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~m}\)

Question 4.
A well of diameter 14 m. is dug 15 m. deep. The earth taken out of it has been spread evenly all around it in the shape of a circular ring of width 7 m to form an embankment. Find the height of the embankment
Answer:
Volume of the well = Volume of the embank
Volume of the cylinder = Volume of the embank
Cylinder :
Radius r = \(\frac{d}{2}\) = \(\frac{14}{2}\) = 7 cm
Height/depth, h = 15 m
Volume V = πr²h
= \(\frac{22}{7}\) × 7 × 7 × 15
= 22 × 7 × 15
= 2310 m³
Embank:

Let the height of the embank = h m
Inner radius ‘r’ = Radius of well = 7 m
Outer radius, R = inner radius + width
= 7m + 7m = 14 m
Area of the base of the embank = (Area of outer circle) – (Area of inner circle)
= πR² – πr²
= π(R² – r²)
= \(\frac{22}{7}\)\(\left(14^{2}-7^{2}\right)\)
= \(\frac{22}{7}\) × (14+7) × (14-7)
= \(\frac{22}{7}\) × 21 × 7
= 462 m²
∴ Volume of the embank = Base area × height
= 462 × h = 462 h m³
∴ 462 h m³ = 2310 m³
h = \(\frac{2310}{462}\) = 5 m.

Question 5.
A container shaped like a right circular cylinder having diameter 12 cm. and height 15 cm. is full of ice-cream. The ice-cream is to be filled into cones of height 12 cm. and diameter 6 cm., having a hemispherical shape on the top. Find the number of such cones which can be filled with ice-cream.
Answer:
Let the number of cones that can be filled with the ice-cream be ‘n’.
Then total volume of all the cones with a hemi spherical top = Volume of the ice-cream

Ice-cream cone = Cone + Hemisphere = πr²h

Cone:
Radius = \(\frac{d}{2}\) = \(\frac{6}{2}\) = 3 cm
Height, h = 12 cm
Volume V = \(\frac{1}{3}\)πr²h
= \(\frac{1}{3}\) × \(\frac{22}{7}\) × 3 × 3 × 12
= \(\frac{22}{7}\) × 36
= \(\frac{792}{7}\)
Hemisphere:
Radius = \(\frac{d}{2}\) = \(\frac{6}{2}\) = 3 cm
Volume V = \(\frac{2}{3}\)πr³
= \(\frac{2}{3}\) × \(\frac{22}{7}\) × 3 × 3 × 3
= \(\frac{44 \times 9}{7}\)
= \(\frac{396}{7}\)
∴ Volume of each cone with ice-cream = \(\frac{792}{7}\) + \(\frac{396}{7}\) = \(\frac{1188}{7}\) cm³
Cylinder:
Radius = \(\frac{d}{2}\) = \(\frac{12}{2}\) = 6 cm
Height, h = 15 cm
Volume V = πr²h
= \(\frac{22}{7}\) × 6 × 6 × 15
= \(\frac{22 \times 36 \times 15}{7}\)
= \(\frac{11880}{7}\)
∴ \(\frac{11880}{7}\) = n × \(\frac{11880}{7}\)
⇒ n = \(\frac{11880}{7}\) × \(\frac{7}{1188}\) = 10
∴ n = 10.

Question 6.
How many silver coins, 1.75 cm in diameter and thickness 2 mm., need to be melted to form a cuboid of dimensions 5.5 cm × 10 cm × 3.5 cm?
Answer:
Let the number of silver coins needed to melt = n
Then total volume of n coins = volume of the cuboid
n × πr²h = lbh [∵ The shape of the coin is a cylinder and V = πr²h]

∴ 400 silver coins are needed.

Question 7.
A vessel is in the form of an inverted cone. Its height is 8 cm. and the radius of its top is 5 cm. It is filled with water up to the rim. When lead shots, each of which is a sphere of radius 0.5 cm are dropped into the vessel, 1/4 of the water flows out. Find the number of lead shots dropped into the vessel.
Answer:

Let the number of lead shots dropped = n
Then total volume of n lead shots = \(\frac{1}{4}\) volume of the conical vessel.
Lead shots:
Radius, r = 0.5 cm
Volume V = \(\frac{4}{3}\)πr³
= \(\frac{4}{3}\) × \(\frac{22}{7}\) × 0.5 × 0.5 × 0.5
Total volume of n – shots
= n × \(\frac{4}{3}\) × \(\frac{22}{7}\) × 0.125
Cone:
Radius, r = 5 cm;
Height, h = 8 cm
Volume, V = \(\frac{1}{3}\) πr²h
= \(\frac{1}{3}\) × \(\frac{22}{7}\) × 5 × 5 × 8
= \(\frac{1}{3}\) × \(\frac{22}{7}\) × 200

∴ Number of lead shots = 100.

Question 8.
A solid metallic sphere of diameter 28 cm is melted and recast into a number of smaller cones, each of diameter 4 \(\frac{d}{2}\) cm and height 3 cm. Find the number of cones so formed.
Answer:
Let the no. of small cones = n Then,
total volume of n cones = Volume of sphere Diameter = 28 cm.
Cones:
Radius r = \(\frac{d}{2}\)

Height, h = 3 cm

Total volume of n-cones = n . \(\frac{154}{9}\) cm³
Sphere:
Radius = \(\frac{d}{2}\) = \(\frac{28}{2}\) = 14 cm

No. of cones formed = 672.
