A solid cuboid of iron with dimensions 53cm × 40cm ×15cm is melted int...
Given:
- Dimensions of the solid cuboid: 53cm × 40cm × 15cm
- Outer diameter of the cylindrical pipe: 8cm
- Inner diameter of the cylindrical pipe: 7cm
To find: The length of the pipe
Solution:
To find the length of the pipe, we need to first calculate the volume of the solid cuboid and then equate it to the volume of the cylindrical pipe.
Step 1: Calculate the volume of the solid cuboid
The volume of a cuboid is given by the formula:
Volume = length × width × height
Given dimensions of the solid cuboid:
Length = 53cm
Width = 40cm
Height = 15cm
Using the formula, we can calculate the volume:
Volume = 53cm × 40cm × 15cm
Volume = 31800 cm³
Step 2: Calculate the volume of the cylindrical pipe
The volume of a cylinder is given by the formula:
Volume = π × r² × h
Given dimensions of the cylindrical pipe:
Outer diameter = 8cm
Radius of outer diameter = 8cm / 2 = 4cm
Inner diameter = 7cm
Radius of inner diameter = 7cm / 2 = 3.5cm
Using the formula, we can calculate the volume:
Volume = π × (4cm)² × h - π × (3.5cm)² × h
Volume = π × 16cm² × h - π × 12.25cm² × h
Volume = π × (16cm² - 12.25cm²) × h
Volume = π × 3.75cm² × h
Step 3: Equate the volumes and solve for the length of the pipe
Since the volume of the solid cuboid is equal to the volume of the cylindrical pipe, we can equate the two volumes:
31800 cm³ = π × 3.75cm² × h
To solve for h (length of the pipe), divide both sides of the equation by π × 3.75cm²:
h = 31800 cm³ / (π × 3.75cm²)
h ≈ 276.6 cm
Therefore, the length of the pipe is approximately 276.6 cm.
