Question:

A conical vessel (solid) is made of iron. Its base radius is 7 cm and height is 15 cm. If the weight of the iron per cubic centimetre is 15 g, what is the weight of the vessel? 

Options:

13.55 kg

13.55 kg

14.55 kg

11.55 kg

Correct Answer:

11.55 kg

Explanation:

We know that,

Volume of the Conical Vessel = \(\frac{1}{3}\) πr2h

We have,

Radius of conical vessel= 7 cm

Height of conical vessel = 15 cm.

Weight of iron per cubic cm = 15 g.

Volume of the conical vessel is = \(\frac{1}{3}\) × \(\frac{22}{7}\) × (7)2 × 15 = 770cm3

Weight of the vessel = 770 × 15 =11550 gm = 11.55 kg.
