A pen stand made of wood is in the shape of a cuboid with four conical depressions and a cubical depression to hold the pens and pins, respectively. The dimension of the cuboid are $ 10 \mathrm{~cm} \times 5 \mathrm{~cm} \times 4 \mathrm{~cm} $. The radius of each of the conical depression is $ 0.5 \mathrm{~cm} $ and the depth is $ 2.1 \mathrm{~cm} $. The edge of the cubical depression is $ 3 \mathrm{~cm} $. Find the volume of the wood in the entire stand.


Given:

A pen stand made of wood is in the shape of a cuboid with four conical depressions and a cubical depression to hold the pens and pins, respectively.

The dimension of the cuboid are \( 10 \mathrm{~cm} \times 5 \mathrm{~cm} \times 4 \mathrm{~cm} \).

The radius of each of the conical depression is \( 0.5 \mathrm{~cm} \) and the depth is \( 2.1 \mathrm{~cm} \).

The edge of the cubical depression is \( 3 \mathrm{~cm} \).

To do:

We have to find the volume of the wood in the entire stand. 

Solution:

Length of the cuboid pen stand $l = 10\ cm$

Breadth of the cuboid pen stand $b = 5\ cm$

Height of the cuboid pen stand $h = 4\ cm$

Therefore,

Volume of the cuboid pend stand $= lbh$

$= 10 \times 5 \times 4$

$= 200\ cm^3$

Radius of the conical depression $r = 0.5\ cm$

Height of the conical depression $h_1 = 2.1\ cm$

Volume of the conical depression $=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h_1$

$=\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times (0.5)^2 \times 2.1$

$=\frac{22 \times 5 \times 5}{1000}$

$=\frac{22}{40}$

$=\frac{11}{20}$

$=0.55 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}$

Edge of the cubical depression $a=3 \mathrm{~cm}$

Volume of the cubical depression $=(a)^{3}$

$=(3)^{3}$

$=27 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}$

Volume of four conical depressions $=4 \times$ Volume of the conical depression

$=4 \times \frac{11}{20}$

$=\frac{11}{5} \mathrm{~cm}^{3}$

Volume of wood in the entire pen stand $=$ Volume of the cuboidal pen stand $-$ Volume of 4 conical depressions $-$ Volume of the cubical depression

$=200-\frac{11}{5}-27$

$=200-\frac{146}{5}$

$=200-29.2$

$=170.8 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}$

The volume of the wood in the entire stand is \( 170.8 \mathrm{~cm}^{3} \).
