Solution
For the solid cylinder:
diameter = 4cm
radius = 2cm
Let its length be l.
Volume of solid cylinder
= πr2l
= π22l
= 4πl cm3
For the hollow cylinder:
Outer diameter = 10cm
Outer radius(R) = 5cm
Inner radius(r) = R - thickness
r = 5 - 0.25
r = 4.75cm
Volume of the hollow cylinder
= πR2h - πr2h
= πh (52 - 4.752)
= π x 21(25 - 22.5625)
= 51.1875π cm3
Since the solid cylinder is recast into a hollow cylinder,
Volume of solid cylinder
= Volume of material in the hollow cylinder
4πl = 51.1875π
l = `(51.1875π)/(4π)`
l = 12.80cm
∴ The length of the solid cylinder is 12.80cm.
