Test Level 2: Mensuration - 2 - Question 3

A cylindrical vessel of diameter 14 cm and height 42 cm is fixed symmetrically inside a similar vessel of diameter 16 cm and height 42 cm. If the total space between the two vessels is filled with cork dust for heat insulation purposes, then how many cubic centimetres of cork dust will be required?

Detailed Solution for Test Level 2: Mensuration - 2 - Question 3

 Height of the cylinders = 42 cm
Radius of the outer cylinder = r1 = 16/2 = 8 cm
Radius of the inner cylinder = r2 = 14/2 = 7 cm
Therefore, volume of the cork dust required = Volume of the outer cylinder – Volume of the inner cylinder

= 1980 cm3

Test Level 2: Mensuration - 2 - Question 4

A tap drips at an average rate of 2 drops in 3 seconds. It takes 2080 drops of water to completely fill a hemispherical vessel of radius 8.3 cm. How many times can the vessel be filled in this manner in 13 hours?

Detailed Solution for Test Level 2: Mensuration - 2 - Question 4

Average rate of tap = 2/3 drops/sec
Total number of drops in the completely filled vessel = 2080
So, time taken by the tap to drip 2080 drops 
i.e. Time required to fill the vessel = 3120 sec
∴ Number of times that the vessel be filled in this manner in 13 hours

Test Level 2: Mensuration - 2 - Question 13

A solid is in the form of a cylinder with hemispherical ends. The total height of the solid is 19 cm and the diameter of the cylinder is 7 cm. The surface area of the solid is

Detailed Solution for Test Level 2: Mensuration - 2 - Question 13

Radius of the hemisphere = Radius of the cylinder = Height of the hemisphere = 3.5 cm
Height of the cylinder = Total height - 2 × (Radius of the hemisphere)
Height of the cylinder = 19 cm - 7 cm = 12 cm
Radius of the hemisphere = 3.5 cm
Surface area of the solid = Surface area of the cylinder + 2 × (Surface area of the hemisphere)
= (2πrh) + 2 × (2πr2)
= (2 × (22/7) × 3.5(12 + 7)) cm2 = 22 × 19 sq. cm = 418 cm2

By putting the value of x in equation (i), we get:

9r2 = h[36 + 12r]

By putting the value of h in above equation, we get: 
9r2 = 3[36 + 12r]
3r2 - 12r - 36 = 0
r2 - 4r - 12 = 0
r2 - 6r + 2r - 12 = 0
r = 6 units

Test Level 2: Mensuration - 2 - Question 18

A sealed bottle, which contains water, has been constructed by attaching a cylinder of radius 1 cm to a cylinder of radius 3 cm, as shown in Figure A. When the bottle is upright, the height of the water is 20 cm, as shown in the cross section of the bottle in Figure B. When the bottle is upside down, the height of the liquid is 28 cm, as shown in Figure C. What is the total height (in cm) of the bottle?

Detailed Solution for Test Level 2: Mensuration - 2 - Question 18

We'll start by denoting the height of the large cylinder by h1 and the height of the small cylinder by h2. For simplicity, we'll suppose x = h1 + h2.
If the bottom cylinder is completely filled and the top cylinder is only partially filled, the top cylinder will have a cylindrical space that is not filled. This cylindrical space will have a height equal to x - 20 and a volume equal to π(1)2(x - 20).
Similarly, if we turn the bottle upside down, there will be cylindrical space unfilled that will have a height equal to x - 28 and a volume equal to π(3)2(x - 28).
Since these two unoccupied spaces must be equal, we can write:
π(1)2(x - 20) = π(3)2(x - 28)
x - 20 = 9x - 252
8x = 232
x = 29
Therefore, the total height is 29 cm.

Test Level 2: Mensuration - 2 - Question 20

A cylindrical tank is 6 feet tall and its base is 4 feet in diameter. A bug crawls from a point P on the upper rim of the tank to a point Q which is directly 4 feet below P, going around the tank once in doing so. Then, the bug crawls from point Q to a point R, directly below P, on the bottom rim of the tank (the vertical distance from Q to R is 2 feet), again going around the can once in doing so. What is the length (in inches) of the shortest path that the bug could have taken from P to R?

Detailed Solution for Test Level 2: Mensuration - 2 - Question 20

We cut the can along a line passing through P, Q and R, and we stretch out the tank so that its side is in the shape of a rectangle. Then, P, Q and R appear as points on two opposite edges of the rectangle. The length of the rectangle is 2π × 2 = 4π and its height is 6. We draw two such rectangles beside each other and indicate where P, Q and R lie along the edges, as shown below.

The shortest path from P to Q to R is indicated above (the first time around the tank is indicated by the line segment from P to Q, and the second time around the tank is indicated by the line segment from Q to R). Given that the vertical distance from P to Q is 4 feet and the vertical distance from Q to R is 2 feet, we get from two applications of the Pythagorean theorem that the length of the shortest path is
