Math Problem Statement

What is the total volume of the composite solid consisting of two cylinders, one with a radius of 6 cm and a height of 10 cm, and the other with a radius of 10 cm and a height of 2 cm?

Solution

The problem appears to involve a composite solid that consists of two cylinders. The image shows a smaller, vertical cylinder on top of a larger, horizontal cylinder. The task is to find the total volume of this composite solid.

Given:

  • Small cylinder (orange):

    • Radius r1=6cmr_1 = 6 \, \text{cm}
    • Height h1=10cmh_1 = 10 \, \text{cm}
  • Large cylinder (blue):

    • Radius r2=10cmr_2 = 10 \, \text{cm}
    • Height h2=2cmh_2 = 2 \, \text{cm}

Steps to solve:

  1. Calculate the volume of the smaller (orange) cylinder: The volume V1V_1 of a cylinder is given by: V1=πr12h1V_1 = \pi r_1^2 h_1 Substituting the values: V1=π(6)2(10)=360πcm3V_1 = \pi (6)^2 (10) = 360\pi \, \text{cm}^3

  2. Calculate the volume of the larger (blue) cylinder: The volume V2V_2 of the large cylinder is: V2=πr22h2V_2 = \pi r_2^2 h_2 Substituting the values: V2=π(10)2(2)=200πcm3V_2 = \pi (10)^2 (2) = 200\pi \, \text{cm}^3

  3. Find the total volume of the composite solid: Add the volumes of both cylinders: Vtotal=V1+V2=360π+200π=560πcm3V_{\text{total}} = V_1 + V_2 = 360\pi + 200\pi = 560\pi \, \text{cm}^3

Final Answer:

The total volume of the composite solid is 560πcm3\boxed{560\pi \, \text{cm}^3}.

Here are some related questions to expand your understanding:

  1. How do you calculate the surface area of the composite solid?
  2. What would be the volume if the height of the small cylinder were doubled?
  3. How would the total volume change if the radius of the large cylinder were increased by 50%?
  4. If the material of the small cylinder has a density of 2 g/cm³, what would be its mass?
  5. How does the total volume change if both the height and radius of the small cylinder are halved?

Tip: Always ensure units are consistent when calculating volume, area, or any other physical quantity.
