From a rectangular solid of metal 42 cm by 30 cm by 20 cm, a conical cavity of diameter 14 cm and depth 24 cm is drilled out. Find:
(i) the surface area of the remaining solid
(ii) the volume of remaining solid
(iii) the weight of the material drilled out if it weighs 7 gm per cm3.

Answer
Given,
Dimensions of rectangular solid are:
l = 42 cm, b = 30 cm and h = 20 cm.
Conical cavity’s diameter = 14 cm
So, its radius (r) = 7 cm
Depth (h) = 24 cm

(i) Total surface area of cuboid = 2(lb + bh + lh)
= 2 (42 x 30 + 30 x 20 + 20 x 42)
= 2 (1260 + 600 + 840)
= 2 (2700)
= 5400 cm2
Area of circular base of conical cavity = πr2 = x 7 x 7 = 154 cm2.
By formula,
⇒ l2 = r2 + h2
⇒ l2 = (7)2 + (24)2
⇒ l2 = 49 + 576
⇒ l2 = 625
⇒ l =
⇒ l = 25 cm.
Area of curved surface area of cone = πrl
= = 22 x 25 = 550 cm2
Surface area of remaining part = Surface area of rectangular solid + Surface area of cone - Area of base of conical cavity
= 5400 + 550 - 154
= 5796 cm2.
Hence, surface area of remaining part = 5796 cm2.
(ii) Volume of the rectangular solid = lbh
= (42 x 30 x 20) cm3
= 25200 cm3
Radius of conical cavity (r) = 7 cm
Depth (h) = 24 cm
Volume of cone =
=
= 22 × 7 × 8
= 1232 cm3.
Volume of remaining solid = Volume of rectangular solid - Volume of cone
= 25200 - 1232
= 23968 cm3.
Hence, volume of remaining solid = 23968 cm3.
(iii) Volume of material drilled out = Volume of cone = 1232 cm3.
Weight of material drilled out = 1232 × 7 = 8624 g = 8.624 kg.
Hence, weight of material drilled out = 8.624 kg.
