A solid cuboid of iron with dimensions 53 cm x 40 cm x 15 cm is melted and recast into a cylindrical pipe. The outer and inner diameters of pipe are 8 cm and 7 cm respectively. Find the length of pipe.



Answer -

Let the length of thepipe be h cm.

Then, Volume of cuboid= (53 x 40 x 15) cm3

Internal radius of thepipe = 7/2 cm = r

External radius of thepipe = 8/2 = 4 cm = R

So, the volume of ironin the pipe = (External Volume) – (Internal Volume)

= πR2h – πr2h

= πh(R2– r2)

= πh(R – r) (R + r)

= π(4 – 7/2) (4 + 7/2)x h

= π(1/2) (15/2) x h

Then from the questionit’s understood that,

The volume of iron inthe pipe = volume of iron in cuboid

π(1/2) (15/2) x h = 53x 40 x 15

h = (53 x 40 x 15 x7/22 x 2/15 x 2) cm

h = 2698 cm

Therefore, the lengthof the pipe is 2698 cm.
