Q.
A rectangular sheet of tin foil of size 30 cm × 18 cm can be rolled to form a cylinder in two ways along length and along breadth. Find the ratio of volumes of the two cylinders thus formed.
Given size of the sheet = 30 cm×18 cm
If we roll it lengthwise, base circumference, 2πr = 30
2×(22/7)r = 30
r = 30×7/2×22 = 210/44 = 105/22 cm
Height, h = 18 cm
Volume of the cylinder, V1 = πr2h
= (22/7)×(105/22)2×18
= 15×105×9/11
If we roll it breadthwise, base circumference, 2πr = 18
2×(22/7)r = 18
r = 18×7/2×22 = 126/44 = 63/22 cm
Height, h = 30 cm
Volume of the cylinder, V2 = πr2h
= (22/7)×(63/22)2×30
= 9×63×15/11
V1/V2 = (15×105×9/11)÷( 9×63×15/11)
= (15×105×9/11)×(11/9×63×15)
= 105/63
= 15/9
= 5/3
Ratio of the volumes of two cylinders is 5:3.
