Find the capacity in litres of a conical vessel with (i) radius 7cm, slant height 25 cm (ii) height 12 cm, slant height 12 cm
Find the capacity in litres of a conical vessel with
(i) radius 7cm, slant height 25 cm
(ii) height 12 cm, slant height 12 cm
(Assume π = 22/7)
(i) Radius of cone, r =7 cm
Slant height of cone, l = 25 cm
Height of cone, h = \(\sqrt{l^2 - r^2}\)
h = \(\sqrt{25^2 - 7^2}\)
h = \(\sqrt{625 - 49}\)
h = 24
Height of the cone is 24 cm
Volume of cone, V = (1/3) πr2h (formula)
V = (1/3) × (22/7) × 72 × 24
= (154 × 8)
= 1232
So, the volume of the vessel is 1232 cm3
Therefore, capacity of the conical vessel = (1232/1000) liters (because 1L = 1000 cm3)
= 1.232 Liters.
(ii) Height of cone, h = 12 cm
Slant height of cone, l = 13 cm
Height of cone, r = \(\sqrt{l^2 - h^2}\)
r = \(\sqrt{13^2 - 12^2}\)
h = \(\sqrt{169 - 144}\)
r = 5
Hence, the radius of cone is 5 cm.
Now, Volume of cone, V = (1/3)πr2h
V = (1/3) × (22/7) × 52 × 12 cm3
= \(\frac{2200}{7}\)
Volume of cone is \(\frac{2200}{7}\) cm3
Now, Capacity of the conical vessel
= \(\frac{2200}{7000}\) litres (1L = 1000 cm3)
= \(\frac{11}{35}\) litres
