A tent is in the form of a cylinder of diameter 20 m and height 2.5 m, surmounted by a cone of equal base and height 7.5 m. find the capacity of the tent and the cost of the canvas at Rs. 100 per square metre.

Given: height of Cylinder (h) = 2 m


Diameter of hemisphere (d) = 2 m


Radius (r) = 1 m


Volume of a cylinder = πr2h


V1 = π(1)2(2) cm …..(1)


Volume of hemisphere =


Since at ends of Cylinder hemisphere are attached


Volume of hemisphere, V2 = 2 × (2/3) πr3


= 2 × π(1)3 cm …..(2)


Volume of boiler = eq. (1) + eq. (2)


V = V1 + V2


V = 2 × + π(1)3(2)
