Two steel sheets each of length a1 and breadth a2 are used to prepare the surface of two right circular cylinders-one having volume V1 and height a2 and the other having volume V2 and height a1. Then
Let the radius of base
of the cylinders be r and R
⇒a1=2πr,a2=2πR
⇒r=a12π,R=a22π
Also
v1=πr2a2=π(a12π)2a2=a21a24π
v2=πR2a1=π(a22π)2a1=a22a14π
⇒v1v2=a21a24πa22a14π=a1a2
⇒v1a1=v2a2=a2v1=a1v2
