Question

The floor of a rectangular hall has a perimeter 250 m. If the cost of panting the four walls at the rate of Rs.10 per m^2 is Rs.15000, find the height of the hall. [Hint: Area of the four walls = Lateral surface area.]

​

Answer 1

$\huge\star{\underline{\mathtt{\red{A}\pink{n}\green{s}\blue{w}\purple{e}\orange{r}}}}$

$\longrightarrow$$\sf\pink{Lateral\:surface\:area\:=\:(Perimeter\:of\:floor)\:×\:height\:=\:250hm2}$

$\longrightarrow$$\sf\red{and}$

$\longrightarrow$$\sf\orange{cost\:=\:Rate\:×\:area}$

$\longrightarrow$$\sf\blue{15000\:=\:10\:×\:250h}$

$\longrightarrow$$\sf\frac\purple{2500}{15000} = h$

$\longrightarrow$$\sf\green{h\:=\:6m}$

Answer 2

Mechanical advantage is a measure of the force amplification achieved by using a tool, mechanical device or machine system. The device trades off input forces against movement to obtain a desired amplification in the output force. The model for this is the law of the lever.
