GIven:

Length of the cylinder (h) = 1.4 m = 140 cm, External radius of cylinder, R = 9 cm and internal radius of cylinder = r cm

F1 Abhishek Madhu 13.07.21 D2

 

Concept:

Volume of solid cylinder, \(V_s=\pi R^2h\)

Volume of hollow cylinder, \(V_h=\pi (R^2-r^2)h\)

Calculation:

Volume of hollow cylinder = \(V_h= \pi (R^2-r^2)h\)

\(\Rightarrow 7480=\frac{22}{7} \times (9^2-r^2) \times 140\)

\(\Rightarrow(81-r^2) = 17\)

⇒ r = 8 cm

∴ Thickness of the cylindrical pipe = R – r = 9 – 8 = 1 cm
