A cylindrical pillar is 50 cm in diameter and 3.5 m in height. Find the cost of painting the curved surface of the pillar at the rate of Rs 12.50 per m2.
Height of cylindrical pillar (h) = 3.5 m
Radius of circular end of pillar ( r) = 50/2 cm = 25 cm = 0.25 m
[As radius = half of the diameter] and [1 m = 100 cm]
Curved surface area of cylindrical pillar = 2πrh
= 2 x 3.14 x 0.25 x 3.5
= 5.5
Curved surface area of cylindrical pillar is 5.5 m.
Find the cost:
Cost of whitewashing 1m2 is Rs 12.50 (Given)
Cost of whitewashing 5.5 m2 area = Rs. 12.50 x 5.5 = Rs. 68.75
Thus the cost of whitewashing the pillar is Rs 68.75.
