Q1: The circumference of the base of a cylindrical vessel is 132 cm and its height is 25 cm. How many litres of water can it hold? (1000 cm³ = 1l)

Answer: Given, h = 25 cm, 2πr = 132 cm.
2πr = 132
2 × (22/7) × r = 132
r = (132 × 7)/ (2 × 22) = 21cm

Volume = πr²h = (22/7) × 21 × 21 × 25
= 34650 cm³
= 34650/1000
= 34.65 litres  (Answer)


Q2: The inner diameter of a cylindrical wooden pipe is 24 cm and its outer diameter is 28 cm. The length of the pipe is 35 cm. Find the mass of the pipe, if 1 cm³ of wood has a mass of 0.6 g.
