Question -

A cylindrical road roller made of iron is 1 m long. Its internal diameter is 54 cm and the thickness of the iron sheet used in making roller is 9 cm. Find the mass of the road roller, if 1 cm3 of the iron has 7.8 gm mass.



Answer -

Given,

Height/length of thecylindrical road roller = h = 1 m = 100 cm

Internal Diameter ofthe cylindrical road roller = 54 cm

So, the internalradius of the cylindrical road roller = 27 cm = r

Also given, thethickness of the road roller (T) = 9 cm

Let us assume that theouter radii of the cylindrical road roller be R.

T = R – r

9 = R – 27

R = 27 + 9

R = 36 cm

Now,

The volume of the ironsheet (V) = π × (R2 − r2) × h

V = π × (362 −272) × 100

V = 1780.38 cm3

Hence, the volume ofthe iron sheet = 1780.38 cm3

It’s given that, massof 1 cmof the iron sheet = 7.8 gm

So, the mass of1780.38 cm3 of the iron sheet = 1388696.4gm = 1388.7 kg

Therefore, the mass ofthe road roller is 1388.7 kg
