Question

The total surface area of a hollow metal cylinder, open at both ends of external radius 8 cm and height 10 cm is 338 p cm2. Taking r to be inner radius, obtain an equation in r and use it to obtain the thickness of the metal in the cylinder.

Solution

Data given in the problem is as follows:

Given cylinder is a hollow cylinder

External radius (R) = 8cm

Height (h) = 10cm

Total Surface Area = 338π

We have to obtain an equation in r, where r is the inner radius of the cylinder and using this equation we have to find the thickness of the cylinder.

We know that,

Total Surface Area of a hollow cylinder =

Therefore,

=

= 338

Thickness = R – r = 8 – 5 = 3 cm

Thickness of the cylinder is 3 cm
