We know that we have to use graph paper to find the area of ab irregularly shaped plane figure. The following steps are the procedure:
(a) At first, place a piece of with an irregular shape on a graph paper and draw its outline.
(b) Now, count the number of whole squares enclosed within the outline of the leaf. Than, take it to be M.
(c) Find that some squares lie partially inside the outline.
(d) After that, count the number of squares which are half of a whole square.
(e) Finally, in the last step count the number of squares, that are less than half.
(2) How will you determine the density of a stone using a measuring jar?
Answer :
With the help of measuring cylinder we can determine the density of a stone using a measuring jar. The steps are the procedure:
(a) Before we start to determine the density we must find the mass and volume of the stone.
(b) Then, take the mass ‘m’ grams and it determined by a physical balance very accurately.
(c) After that, take a measuring cylinder to find the volume and pour in it some water.
(d) Now, record the volume of water with help of marked on measuring cylinder.
(e) Then, first tie the stone to a thread and lower it gently in the measuring cylinder, such that it is completely immersed in water.
(f) Finally, record the new level of water and calculate with the help of density formula which is D = m/v
(XII) Numerical problems :
(1) A circular disc has a radius 10 cm. Find the area of the disc in m2 (Use π = 3.14).
Answer :
In this question we have,
Radius= 10cm
= 0.1m
π = 3.14
Now, we have to find the area of circular disc A
Area of circle = πr^2
= 3.14 × 0.1 × 0.1
= 0.0314m2
(2) The dimension of a school playground is 800 m × 500 m. Find the area of the ground.
Answer :
In this question we have
Dimension of playground= 800m x 500m
= length x breadth
Now, we have to find the area of playground
Area of the ground A = l x b
= 800 x 500
= 4,00,000m^2
(3) Two spheres of same size are made from copper and iron respectively. Find the ratio between their masses (Density of copper is 8,900 kg/m3 and iron is 7,800 kg/m3).
Answer :
In this question we have
Density of copper = 8,900 kg/m^3
Density of iron = 7800kg/m^3
We know that the Volume will be same both of the cases
Let take the masses be m
mC = masses of copper
mI = masses of iron
Now, we have to find the ratio
m = D x V
So, mC = mI
= 8900 V = 7800 V
= 1.14 : 1
(4) A liquid having a mass of 250 g fills a space of 1000 cc. Find the density of the liquid.
Answer :
In this we question we have
Mass of liquid = 250g
V = 1000cc
Now, we have to find density of the liquid
D = M/V
= 250/1000
= 0.25g/cc
(5) A sphere of radius 1cm is made from silver. If the mass of the sphere is 33g, find the density of silver (Take π = 3.14).
Answer :
In this question we have,
r = 1cm
m = 33g
v = 4/3πr^3
= 4/3 x 3.14 x 1
= 4.187cm^3
Now, we have to find density
D = M /V
= 33 / 4.187
= 7.881g/cc
