Question 53.
Water is flowing at the rate of 15 km/hour through a pipe of diameter 14 cm into a cuboidal pond which is 50 m long and 44 m wide. In what time will the level of water in the pond rise by 21 cm? (2011OD)
Solution:
H = 15 km = 15000 m (1 km = 1000 m)
Radius of pipe (t) = $\frac{14}{2}$ = 7 cm = $\frac{7}{100}$ m
Volume of pipe (cylinder) = πr²H
∴ Volume of water flowing through the cylindrical pipe in an hour at the rate of 15 km/hr.

The dimensions of a solid iron cuboid are 4.4 m × 2.6 m × 1.0 m. It is melted and recast into a hollow cylindrical pipe of 30 cm inner radius and thickness 5 cm. Find the length of the pipe. (2017OD)
Solution:
Important Questions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 13 Surface Areas and Volumes 78
Inner radius, r = 30 cm = 0.30 m
Outer radius, R = (30 + 5) cm = 35 cm or 0.35 m
As per the question: (Volume of hollow Cylindrical pipe) = (Volume of solid iron cuboid)

Question 63.
Water running in a cylindrical pipe of inner diameter 7 cm, is collected in a container at the rate of 192.5 litres per minute. Find the rate of flow of water in the pipe in km/h. (Use π = $\frac{22}{7}$ ) (2013OD)
Solution:
Volume of water that flows for one hour
= (192.50 × 60) Its.
= 192.50 × 60 × 1000 cm³ ...[∵ 1 lt. 1000 cm³
Inner radius of the cylindrical pipe = $\frac{7}{2}$ cm
Let h cm be the length of the volume of water that flows in one hour.
Volume of water that flows in 1 hr. = πr²h
