Rachel, an engineering student, was asked to make a model shaped like a cylinder with two cones attached at its two ends by using a thin aluminum sheet. The diameter of the model is 3 cm and its length is 12 cm. If each cone has a height of 2 cm, then what will be the volume of air contained in the model that Rachel made (Assume the outer and inner dimensions of the model to be nearly the same.)?

Detailed Solution

It is given Diameter of the model is 3cm and Length of the model is 12cm and height of the cone is 2 cm.

Question Image

Now, from the figure;
Length of the model

= H e i g h t o f t h e c y l i n d r i c a l p a r t + 2 × H e i g h t o f t h e c o n i c a l p a r t

Height of the cylindrical part

= L e n g t h o f t h e m o d e l − 2 × H e i g h t o f t h e c o n i c a l p a r t

Consider h1 be the height of the cylindrical part.

Now, Diameter of the model, d = 3cm
Radius of cylindrical part = radius of conical part

⇒ r = 32 ⇒ r = 1.5 cm

Volume of the cone

= 13 π r 2 h 2

Volume of the cylinder

= π r 2 h 1

Now, Volume of air in the model is;

⇒ 2 × V o l u m e o f t h e c o n i c a l p a r t s + V o l u m e o f t h e c y l i n d r i c a l p a r t

⇒ 2 × 13 π r 2 h 2 + π r 2 h 1

Substituting the values of r, h1 and h2, we get

⇒ π r 2 23 h 2 + h 1 ⇒ 227 × 1.5 × 1.5 × 23 × 2 + 8 cm 3 ⇒ 227 × 1.5 × 1.5 × 283 cm 3 ⇒ 66 cm 3

Therefore, the volume of air in the model is

66 cm 3

.
Hence option (2) is correct.
