A 20-cm long cylindrical iron tank is filled with silver. The outer and the inner diameters of the iron tankare 12 cm and 9 cm respectively. Find the weight of the tank (in kg), if 1 cubic centimeter of iron weighs 28 gm and that of bronze weighs 21 gm. [π = 22/7]
Answer: 217.8
Volume of the iron tank = π × (R2 - r2) × h = π × (122 - 92) × 20 = 1260π cm3
Volume of the bronze filled = π × r2 × h = π × 92 × 20 = 1620π cm3
Now,
Weight of the iron tank = 1260 × 22/7 × 28 = 110,880 gms.
Weight of the bronze filled = 1620 × 22/7 × 21 = 106,920 gms.
Total weight of the tank = 110880 + 106920 = 217800 gms = 217.8 kgs.
Hence, 217.8.
