36. Conical Tank : The advantages of cone bottom tanks are found in nearly every industry, especially where
getting every last drop from the tank is important. This type of tank has excellent geometry for draining,
especially with high solids content slurries as these cone tanks provide a better full-drain solution. The
conical tank eliminates many of the problems that flat base tanks have as the base of the tank is sloped
towards the centre giving the greatest possible full-drain system in vertical tank design.
Rajesh has been given the task of designing a conical bottom tank for his client. Height of conical part
is equal to its radius. Length of cylindrical part is the 3 times of its radius. Tank is closed from top. The
cross section of conical tank is given below.
(i) If radius of cylindrical part is taken as 3 meter, what is the volume of above conical tank ?
(ii) What is the area of metal sheet used to make this conical tank ? Assume that tank is covered from
top.
(iii) What is the ratio of volume of cylindrical part to the volume of conical part?
(iv) The cost of metal sheet is ` 2000 per square meter and fabrication cost is 1000 per square meter.
What is the total cost of tank ?
37. Volume of a Bird Cage. A company makes rectangular shaped bird cages with height b inches and square
bottoms. The volume of these cages is given by the function V = b 3 − 6b2 + 9b .
(i) Find an expression for the length of each side of the square bottom.
(ii) Use the function to find the volume of a cage with a height of 18 inches.
(iii) Use the remainder theorem to find the volume of a cage with a height of 15 inches.
(iv) Verify the result of (iii) using function ?
38. Dipesh bought 3 notebooks and 2 pens for ` 80. His friend Ramesh said that price of each notebook could
be ` 25. Then three notebooks would cost ` 75, the two pens would cost ` 5 and each pen could be for
` 2.50. Another friend Amar felt that ` 2.50 for one pen was too little. It should be at least ` 16. Then
the price of each notebook would also be ` 16.
Aditya also bought the same types of notebooks and pens as Dipesh. He paid 110 for 4 notebooks and 3
pens.
(i) Whether the estimation of Ramesh and Amar is applicable for Aditya?
(ii) Let the cost of one notebook be x and that of pen be y . Which of the following set describe the
given problem ?
(iii) What is the exact cost of the notebook?
(iv) What is the exact cost of the pen? What is the total cost if they purchase the same type of 15
notebooks and 12 pens.
