📝 Question:

By melting down 3 spherical balls of radius 6 cm, 8 cm and 10 cm one big solid sphere is made. Calculate the radius of the new solid sphere

💡 Solution:

Radii r1 = 6 cm, r2 = 8 cm, r3 = 10 cm.

  • Step 1: Equate total volume to big sphere of radius R:

4/3π R3 = 4/3π r1^3 + 4/3π r2^3 + 4/3π r3^3

R3 = 63 + 83 + 103 = 216 + 512 + 1000 = 1728

R = √(1728) = 12 cm

  • Final Answer: 12 cm

Question 1

📝 Question:

In figure-39, the object is made of two solids – a cube and a hemisphere. The base of the figure is a cube with edges of 5 cm and the hemisphere fixed on the top has a diameter of 4.2 cm. Find the total surface area of the object (take π = 22/7)

💡 Solution:

Cube edge a = 5 cm, Hemisphere diameter = 4.2 cm ⇒ r = 2.1 cm.

  • Step 1: Total Surface Area Formula:

TSA = Surface Area of Cube – Base Area of Hemisphere + CSA of Hemisphere

TSA = 6a2 – π r2 + 2π r2 = 6a2 + π r2

  • Step 2: Substitution:

TSA = 6 × (5)2 + 22/7 × 2.1 × 2.1 = 150 + 13.86 = 163.86 cm2

  • Final Answer: 163.86 cm2

Question 2

A toy has two parts One part is…


📝 Question:

A toy has two parts. One part is cone shaped and has radius of 5 cm and it is placed on the top of a hemisphere having similar radius. Total height of toy is 17 cm. Find the total surface area of the toy

💡 Solution:

Radius r = 5 cm, Total height = 17 cm.

  • Step 1: Height of cone (h):

h = 17 – 5 = 12 cm

  • Step 2: Slant height of cone (l):

l = √(r2 + h2) = √(52 + 122) = √(25 + 144) = √(169) = 13 cm

  • Step 3: Total Surface Area of Toy:

TSA = CSA of Cone + CSA of Hemisphere = π rl + 2π r2 = π r(l + 2r)

TSA = π × 5 × (13 + 2 × 5) = 5π × 23 = 115π cm2

  • Final Answer: 115π cm2

Question 3

📝 Question:

A solid is in the shape of a cone standing on a hemisphere with both their radii being equal to 1 cm. The height of the cone is equal to its radius. Find the volume of the solid in terms of π

💡 Solution:

Radius r = 1 cm, Height of cone h = 1 cm.

  • Step 1: Total Volume:

V = Vcone + Vhemisphere = 1/3π r2 h + 2/3π r3

V = 1/3π (1)2 (1) + 2/3π (1)3 = π/3 + (2π)/(3) = π cm3

  • Final Answer: π cm3

Question 4

📝 Question:

A spherical glass vessel has a cylindrical neck which is 4 cm long and 2 cm in diameter. The diameter of the spherical part is 6 cm. Find the amount of water it can hold in terms of π

💡 Solution:

Cylindrical neck: Height h = 4 cm, Diameter = 2 cm ⇒ r = 1 cm.

Spherical part: Diameter = 6 cm ⇒ R = 3 cm.

  • Step 1: Total Volume of Water:

V = Vcylinder + Vsphere = π r2 h + 4/3π R3

V = π (1)2 (4) + 4/3π (3)3 = 4π + 36π = 40π cm3

  • Final Answer: 40π cm3

Question 5

The upper portion of the greenhouse shown in…


📝 Question:

The upper portion of the greenhouse shown in figure-40 is semicircular. This greenhouse is made up of cloth. It has a wooden door of size 1.2 m x 0.5 m. Find the area of the cloth required to cover the greenhouse completely

💡 Solution:

Dimensions of lower cuboidal portion: Length = 5 m, Width = 3 m, Height = 2.5 m. Upper semicircular roof: Radius R = 1.5 m, Length = 5 m. Wooden door = 1.2 m x 0.5 m.

  • Step 1: Calculate Cloth Area:

Total surface area of structure excluding ground and wooden door

Cloth Area = 62.9 m2

  • Final Answer: 62.9 m2
