10th Maths Exercise 7.4 Samacheer Kalvi Question 1.
An aluminium sphere of radius 12 cm is melted to make a cylinder of radius 8 cm. Find the height of the cylinder.
Solution:
Sphere – Radius r1 = 12 cm
Cylinder – Radius r2 = 8 cm
h2 = ?
Volume of cylinder = Volume of sphere melted

? Height of the cylinder made = 36 cm.

Exercise 7.4 Maths Class 10 Solutions Question 2.
Water is flowing at the rate of 15 km per hour through a pipe of diameter 14 cm into a rectangular tank which is 50 m long and 44 m wide. Find the time in which the level of water in the tanks will rise by 21 cm.
Solution:
In cylinder,
r = 7cm = 0.7m
l = 15 km = 15000 m
In tank
l = 50 m
b = 44 m
h = 0.21 m
Volume of water in tank = lbh
= 50 × 44 × 0.21
= 462 m3

Class 10 Maths 7.4 Solutions Question 3.
A conical flask is full of water. The flask has base radius r units and height h units, the water poured into a cylindrical flask of base radius xr units. Find the height of water in the cylindrical flask.
Solution:
The volume of water poured = The volume of the water in the conical flask.

? The height of the water in the cylindrical flask = $$\frac{h}{3 x^{2}}$$ units.

Class 10th Maths Exercise 7.4 Question 4.
A solid right circular cone of diameter 14 cm and height 8 cm is melted to form a hollow sphere. If the external diameter of the sphere is 10 cm, find the internal diameter.
Solution:
Volume of the hollow sphere made = Volume of the cone melted.

Maths Exercise 7.4 Question 5.
Seenu’s house has an overhead tank in the shape of a cylinder. This is filled by pumping water from a sump (underground tank) which is in the shape of a cuboid. The sump has dimensions 2 m × 1.5 m × 1 m. The overhead tank has its radius of 60 cm and height 105 cm. Find the volume of the water left in the sump after the overhead tank has been completely filled with water from the sump which has been full, initially.
Solution:
Volume of water in the sump = lbh
= 2 × 1.5 × l = 200 × 150 × 100 = 3000000 cm3

= 1188000 cm3
? The volume of water left in the sump = 3000000 – 1188000
= 1812000 cm3

Ex 7.4 Class 10 Question 6.
The internal and external diameter of a hollow hemispherical shell are 6 cm and 10 cm respectively. If it is melted and recast into a solid cylinder of diameter 14 cm, then find the height of the cylinder.
Solution:
D = 10 cm,
R = 5 cm
d = 6 cm,
r = 3 cm

Volume of the cylinder made = Volume of hemisphere melted.

? Height of the cylinder made = 1.33 cm.

Ex 7.4 Class 10 Maths Question 7.
A solid sphere of radius 6 cm is melted into a hollow cylinder of uniform thickness. If the external radius of the base of the cylinder is 5 cm and its height is 32 cm, then find the thickness of the cylinder.
Solution:
Volume of the hollow cylinder made = Volume of the sphere melted.
