How many cubic metres of earth must be dugout to sink a well $21\ m$ deep and $6\ m$ diameter? Find the cost of plastering the inner surface of the well at Rs. $9.50$ per $m^2$.
Given:
A well is $21\ m$ deep and $6\ m$ in diameter.
To do:
We have to find the volume of the earth that must be dugout and the cost of plastering the inner surface of the well at Rs. $9.50$ per $m^2$.
Solution:
Diameter of the well $= 6\ m$
This implies,
Radius $(r) =\frac{6}{2}$
$= 3\ m$
Depth of the well $(h) = 21\ m$
Therefore,
Volume of the earth dugout $= \pi r^2h$
$=\frac{22}{7} \times 3 \times 3 \times 21$
$=594 \mathrm{~m}^{3}$
Curved surface area $=2 \pi r h$
$=2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 3 \times 21$
$=396 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$
Rate of plastering the surface $= Rs.\ 9.50$ per $\mathrm{m}^{2}$
Total cost of plastering $=Rs.\ 9.50 \times 396$
$= Rs.\ 3762$
