A roller has a diameter of 0.5 m and a length of 1.5 m. Find the number of revolutions to cover the area of 264 sq.m.


Given :

The diameter of the roller(d) $=0.5 m$.

The length of the roller(h) $=1.5 m$.


To do :

We have to find the number of revolutions by the roller to cover the area of 264 sq m.


Solution :

Radius $= \frac{d}{2} = \frac{0.5}{2}$

Area covered by the roller in one revolution $=$ Curved surface area of the roller.

The curved surface area of the roller $= 2πrh$

                                                  $= 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times \frac{0.5}{2} \times 1.5$

                                                $= 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times \frac{1}{2 \times 2} \times \frac{3}{2}$                       $[0.5 =\frac{1}{2} ; 1.5 =\frac{3}{2} ]$

                                                $ = \frac{33}{14}$sq m.

Area covered by the roller in one revolution $= \frac{33}{14}$sq m.

Number of revolutions $=$ Total area $\div$ Area covered in one revolution

                                          $= \frac{264}{\frac{33}{14}}$

                                         $= \frac{264 \times 14}{33}$

                                         $ =8 \times 14 = 112$


Therefore, the number of revolutions is 112.
