  1. Given diameter of the road roller, d = 0.7 m

    Radius, r = d/2 = 0.7/2 = 0.35 m

    Width, h = 1.2 m

    Curved surface area of the road roller = 2rh

    =2 ×(22/7)×0.35×1.2

    = 2.64 m2

    Area of the play ground = l×b

    120×44

    = 5280 m2

    Number of revolutions = Area of play ground / Curved surface area

    = 5280/2.64

    = 2000

    Hence the road roller must take 2000 revolutions to level the ground.
