NCERT Solutions class 10 maths chapter 13 Exercise 13.5
Question 1
. A copper wire, 3 mm in diameter, is wound about a cylinder whose
length is 12 cm, and diameter 10 cm, so as to cover the curved surface of the cylinder. Find the length
and mass of the wire, assuming the density of copper to be 8.88 g per cm
3
Answer
Diameter of cylinder = 10 cm
Radius of the cylinder r =
= 5 cm
∴ Length of wire in one round = 2πr = 2π x 5 cm = 10 π cm
diameter of wire = 3 mm =3/10 = 0.3 cm
∴ The thickness of cylinder = 3/10 m
Hence, the number of turns will be- length of wire required to complete 40 rounds = 40 x 10 π cm =
1257.14 cm
Radius of the wire = cm= 0.15 cm
Volume of wire = Area of cross-section of wire × Length of wire
=π(0.15)
2 ×1257.14
= 88.898 cm3
Mass = Volume × Density
= 88.898×8.88
= 789.41 gm
= 789.41 gm
Question 2
.
A right triangle whose sides are 3 cm and 4 cm (other than hypotenuse) is made to revolve about its
hypotenuse. Find the volume and surface area of the double cone so formed. (Choose value of π as found
appropriate.)
Answer 1
triangle ABC Is right angle triangle so
AB = 4 cm, BC = 3 cm
Hypotenuse BC =
= 5 cm
Area of triangle ABC=
x AB x AC
=
x AC x OB =
x 4
x 3
x 5
x OB = 6
OB =
=2.4 cm
Now, volume of double cone= Volume of cone 1 + volume of cone
we get,
V = 30.14 cm3
The surface area of the double cone= Surface area of cone 1 + Surface area of cone
= 52.75 cm2
Question 3
. A cistern, internally measuring 150 cm × 120 cm × 100 cm, has
129600 cm
3 of water in it. Porous bricks are placed in the water until the cistern is full to
the brim. Each brick absorbs one-seventeenth of its own volume of water. How many bricks can be put in
without overflowing the water, each being 22.5 cm × 7.5 cm × 6.5 cm?
Answer
Dimension of the cistern = 150 × 120 × 110
volume of the cistern = 1980000 cm
3
Volume to be filled in cistern = 1980000 – 129600 = 1850400 cm
3
Let n number of bricks placed in cistern
volume of n bricks will be = n×22.5×7.5×6.5 =1096.875n
each brick absorbs one-seventeenth of its volume,So volume will be
=
×(22.5×7.5×6.5)
For the condition given in the question,
n×22.5×7.5×6.5 = 1850400 +
×(22.5×7.5×6.5)
we get,
n = 1792.41
Question 4
In one fortnight of a given month, there was a rainfall of 10 cm in
a river valley. If the area of the valley is 7280 km
2, show that the total rainfall was
approximately equivalent to the addition to the normal water of three rivers each 1072 km long, 75 m wide
and 3 m deep.
Answer
Rainfall in the rivers= 10cm =0.1m
Area of river= 97280km
2 =7280000000m
2
Volume of water= 7280000000 x 0.1 = 728000000m
3
Now, volume of 3 rivers = 3 × 1072000 x 75 x 3 = 3 x 24100000 = 843600000 m
3
728000000m
3 ≠ 843600000 m
3
So, the question statement is false.
Question 5
.. An oil funnel made of tin sheet consists of a 10 cm long
cylindrical portion attached to a frustum of a cone. If the total height is 22 cm, diameter of the
cylindrical portion is 8 cm and the diameter of the top of the funnel is 18 cm, find the area of the tin
sheet required to make the funnel (see Fig.).
Answer
Question 6
. Derive the formula for the curved surface area and total surface
area of the frustum of a cone, given to you in Section 13.5, using the symbols as explained.
Answer
CSA of forstum = π(r
1+r
2)l
The total area of frustum =thel CSA of frustum + the Cover surface area of upper circular end and area of
the lower circular end
= π(r
1+r
2)l+πr
22+πr
12
∴ Surface area of frustum =
π[r
1+r
2)l+r
12+r
22]
Question 7
. Derive the formula for the volume of the frustum of a
cone.
