Surface Areas and Volumes

Surface Areas of Combination of Solids
We can calculate the surface area of an object formed by combining any two of the basic solids, namely cuboid, cone, cylinder, sphere and hemisphere. Here are the steps :

  • Break the given object in known basic shapes of solids.
  • Total surface area of the new solid is the sum of the curved surface areas of each of the individual parts.
    Example : Total surface area (TSA) of the given object A = Curved surface area of cylinder + curved surface area of cone F

Frustum of a Right Circular Cone : Given a right circular cone, which is sliced through by a plane parallel to its base, when the smaller conical portion is removed, the resulting solid is called a Frustum of a Right Circular Cone. F

Volume of Combination of Solids: we can find the volume of objects formed by combining any two of a cuboid, cone, cylinder, sphere and hemisphere.

Conversion of one solid to another solid : When we convert one solid to another (we do this in liquid form by melting the solid) . The volume remain constant. So knowing the volume formula of converted object we can calculate its other parameters like height,redius etc.
CSA (curved surface area), TSA (total surface area) and volume of a frustum of a cone.

Note : let h be the height, l be the slant height ,r1 and r2 be radii of the ends (r1>r2 ) of a frustum of a cone. Formulae for the volume of frustum, the curved surface area and total surface area of the frustum are as given below.

Question. Water in a canal, 30 dm wide and 12 dm deep is flowing with velocity of 10km/hr. How much area will it irrigate in 30 minutes, if 8 cm of standing water is required for irrigation?
Solution. Width of the canal = 30 dm = 300 cm = 3 m
Depth of the canal 12 dm = 120 cm = 1.2 m
It is given that the water is flowing with velocity 10 km/hr
Therefore Length of the water column formed in 1/2 hour = 5 km = 5000 m
Therefore, volume of the water flowing in 1 hour
= Volume of the cuboid of length 5000 m, width 3 m and depth 1.2 m
10 x 30/60 km = 5km = 500 m
⇒ Volume of the flowing water in half hour = 5000 x 1.2 x 3m3
Suppose x m2 area is irrigated in 1/2 hour
x × 8 /100 = 18000
x = 1800000/8
x = 225000

Solution. Volume of water in frustum = 44 x 107 litres
= 44 x 104 litres
= 440000 m3
Radius of bottom of frustum = 50 m(r)
Radius of top of frustum = 100 m (R).
Let the depth of water = h (m) = height of frustum
Let slant height = 1 cm

Question. The rain water from a roof of 44 m x 20 m drains into a cylindrical tank having diameter of base 4 m and height 3.5 m. If the tank is just full, find the rainfall in cm.
Solution. Length of the roof (l) = 44 m,
Breadth of the roof (b) = 20 m
Let the height of the water on the roof be h m.
Volume of water falling on the roof = l x b x h
= 44 20 h
= 880h
Radius of the cylindrical vessel (R) = 4/2 = 2m
Height of the water in the cylindrical vessel (H) = 3.5 m
Volume of the water in the cylindrical vessel = πR2H
= 22/7 x 2 x 2 x 3.5
= 308/7
= 44
Volume of water falling on the roof = Volume of the water in the cylindrical vessel
⇒ 880 h = 44
⇒ h = 44/880
⇒ h = 44/880 x 100
⇒ h = 5 cm
⇒ Height of the water on the roof is 5 cm.

Question. Due to heavy floods in a state , thousands were rendered homeless . 50 schools collectively offered to the state government to provide place and the canvas for 1500 tents to be fixed by the government and decided to share their whole expenditure equally. The lower part of each tent is cylindrical of base radius 2.8 m and height 3.5 m , with conical upper part of same radius but of height 2.1 m . If the canvas used to make the tents cost 120 Rupees / sq. metre , then find the amount shared by each school to set up tents . What value is generated by the above problem?   
Solution. Radius of cylindrical part and cone part of tent, r = 2.8m
height of cylindrical part of tent, H = 3.5m
height of conical part of tent, h = 2.1m
Number of tents to be made = 1500
Cost of canvas for making tent = 120 rupees/sq.m
Number of school = 50
Canvas required for one tent = Curved surafce area of cylinder + Curved surface of cone = 2πrh + πrl

Assignments For Class 10 Mathematics Surface Area and Volume

So, canvas required for 1500 tents = 1500 × canvas required for one tent.
= 92.4 × 1500 = 1,38,600 sq.m
Thus, cost of the canvas = 120 × canvas required for 1500 tents = Rs 1,66,32,000
Hence, amount shared by each school = cost /50 = 16632000 / 50 = Rs 332640
Values schools feel their responsibility for helping government in its efforts to face natural calamities like floods, etc. And, also want their students to be aware of the causes of such natural calamities and how we could help in such situation.

Question. Two cones with same base radius 8 cm and height 15 cm are joined together along their bases. Find the surface area of the shape so formed.  
Solution. When two identical cones are joined base to base, the total surface area of new solid
becomes equal to the sum of curved surface areas of both the cones.
So, total surface area of solid = πrl + πrl = 2πrl
In two cones, r = 8 cm, h = 15 cm
Now, l2 = r2 + h2 = 82 + 152 = 64 + 225 = 289
⇒ l2 = (17)2
⇒ l = 17 cm
Total surface area of solid = 2πrl
= 2 × π × 8 × 17
= 272π cm2
= 854.857 cm2
Hence, the surface area of new solid = 854.857 cm2.

Question. Water is flowing through a cylindrical pipe of internal diameter 2 cm, into a cylindrical tank of base radius 40 cm at the rate of 0.7 m/sec. By how much will the water rise in the tank in half an hour?
Solution. For pipe, r = 1 cm (½)
Length of water flowing in 1 sec,
h = 0.7 m = 70 cm (½)
Cylindrical Tank, R = 40 cm, rise in water level = H (½)
Volume of water flowing in 1 sec
= πr2h = π × 1 × 1 × 70 = 70p (½)
Volume of water flowing in 60 sec
= 70π × 60 
Volume of water flowing in 30 minutes
= 70π × 60 × 30 (½)
Volume of water in Tank
= πr2H = π × 40 × 40 × H (½)

Question. Selvi’s house has an overhead tank in the shape of a cylinder. This is filled by pumping water from an underground tank which is in the shape of a cuboid. The underground tank has dimensions 1.57 m × 1.44 m × 95 cm. The overhead tank has its radius of 60 cm and its height is 95 cm. Find the height of the water left in the underground tank after the overhead tank has been completely filled with water from the underground tank which had been full. Compare the capacity of the overhead tank with that of the underground tank. [Use π = 3.14]
Solution. The volume of water in the overhead tank equals the
volume of the water removed from the sump.
Now, the volume of water in the overhead tank (cylinder)
= pr2h = 3.14 × 0.6 × 0.6 × 0.95 m
The volume of water in the sump when full
= l × b × h = 1.57 × 1.44 × 0.95 m3 
The volume of water left in sump after filing tank
= [(1.57 × 1.44 × 0.95)
– (3.14 × 0.6 × 0.6 × 0.95)] m3
= (1.57 × 0.6 × 0.6 × 0.95 × 2) m2
So, the height of water left in the sump
