much time will it take to empty half the tank, if it is 3m in diameter?
(c) A container shaped like a right circular cylinder having a diameter of 12 cm and a height of 15
cm is full of ice cream. The ice cream is to be filled into cones of a height of 12 cm and a
diameter of 6 cm, having a hemispherical shape on the top. Find the number of such cones which
can be filled with ice cream.

CASE STUDY
4. (i) In a toy manufacturing company, wooden parts are assembled and painted to prepare a toy. For
the wood processing activity center, the wood is taken out of storage to be sawed, after which it
undergoes rough polishing, then is cut, drilled, and has holes punched in it. It is then fine-polished
using sandpaper. For the retail packaging and delivery activity center, the polished wood sub-parts
are assembled together and then decorated using paint. One specific toy is in the shape of a cone
mounted on a cylinder. The total height of the toy is 110 mm and the height of its conical part is 77
mm. The diameter of the base of the conical part is 72 mm and that of the cylindrical part is 40 mm.
On the basis of the above information, answer the following questions:

(a) Find the surface area that needs to be painted in terms of π, if its cylindrical part is to be painted
red.
(b) Find the surface area that needs to be painted in terms of π, if its conical part is to be painted
blue.
(c) How much of the wood has been used in making the toy? If the cost of painting the toy is 2 paise
for
8π 𝑚𝑚2 , then what is the cost of the painting of a box of 100 toys?

(ii) Underground water tank is popular in India. It is usually used for large water tank storage and
can be built cheaply using cement-like materials. Underground water tanks are typically chosen by
people who want to save space. The water in the underground tank is not affected by extreme
weather conditions. The underground tanks maintain cool temperatures in both winter and summer.
The electric pump is used to move water from the underground tank to Ramesh has recently his
house and installed an underground tank and overhead tank. Dimensions of tanks are as follows:
Underground Tank: Base 2𝑚 × 2𝑚 and Height 1.1 m.
Overhead tank: Radius 50 cm and Height 175 cm

 On the basis of the above information, answer the following questions:
(a) What is the capacity of the sump?
(b) What is the ratio of the capacity of the sump to the capacity of the overhead tank?
(c) If the curved part of the overhead tank needs to be painted to save it from corrosion, how much
area needs to be painted?
(d) If water is filled in the overhead tank at the rate of 11 litres per minute, the tank will be
completely filled in how many times?
(iii) The boiler is essentially a closed vessel inside which water is stored. Fuel (generally coal) is burnt
in a furnace and hot gasses are produced. These hot gasses come in contact with a water vessel
where the heat of these hot gases transfer to the water and consequently steam is produced in the
boiler. Then this steam is piped to the turbine of the thermal power plant. There are many different
types of boilers utilized for different purposes like running a production unit, sanitizing some areas,
sterilizing equipment, warming up the surroundings, etc.
Rajesh has been given the task of designing a boiler for NTPC. The boiler consists of a cylindrical
part in the middle and two hemispherical parts its both ends. The cross-section of the boiler is given
below. The length of the cylindrical part is three 3 times of radius of the hemispherical part.

On the basis of the above information, answer the following questions:

(a) Write the expression for the surface area of the cylindrical part of the Boiler and the total surface area of
the Boiler.
(b) Write the expression for the volume of the cylinder. What is the ratio of volume to the surface area?
(c) If r = 3 m, what is the volume of the Boiler?
