Q9:
A wooden article was made by scooping out a hemisphere from each end of a solid cylinder, as shown in Fig. 12.11. If the height of the cylinder is $10$ cm, and its base is of radius $3.5$ cm, find the total surface area of the article.

A wooden article was made by scooping out a hemisphere from each end of a solid cylinder, as shown in Fig. 12.11. If the height of the cylinder is $10$ cm, and its base is of radius $3.5$ cm, find the total surface area of the article.

Solution :
Given:
- Height of the solid cylinder ($h$) = $10$ cm
- Radius of the base of the cylinder ($r$) = $3.5$ cm
- The article is formed by scooping out a hemisphere from each end of the cylinder.
To Find:
The total surface area of the resulting wooden article.
Step 1: Understanding the Surface Area Components
The total surface area of the article consists of three parts:
- The Curved Surface Area (CSA) of the cylinder.
- The Curved Surface Area (CSA) of the top hemisphere.
- The Curved Surface Area (CSA) of the bottom hemisphere.
Formulae to be used:
- CSA of cylinder = $2\pi rh$
- CSA of a hemisphere = $2\pi r^2$
Step 2: Setting up the Equation
Total Surface Area (TSA) = (CSA of cylinder) + (CSA of top hemisphere) + (CSA of bottom hemisphere)
$TSA = 2\pi rh + 2\pi r^2 + 2\pi r^2$
$TSA = 2\pi rh + 4\pi r^2$
$TSA = 2\pi r(h + 2r)$
Step 3: Substituting the Values
Given $r = 3.5$ cm and $h = 10$ cm.
$TSA = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 3.5 \times (10 + 2 \times 3.5)$
[Since $\pi \approx \frac{22}{7}$]
Step 4: Performing the Calculation
First, simplify the radius term: $3.5 = \frac{7}{2}$
$TSA = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times \frac{7}{2} \times (10 + 7)$
$TSA = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times \frac{7}{2} \times (17)$
Cancel the common factors ($2$ and $7$):
$TSA = 22 \times 17$
$TSA = 374$
Step 5: Final Conclusion
The total surface area is calculated in square centimeters ($cm^2$).
Final Answer: 374 cm²
