A roller 2 m long has a diameter 140 cm. To level a play ground it takes 350 complete revolutions. Determine the cost of levelling the playground at the rate of
75 paise per square meter.

LadyStrange

Diameter of a roller = 140 cm

Radius of the roller :

[tex] =\tt \frac{diameter}{2} [/tex]

[tex] =\tt \frac{140}{2} [/tex]

[tex] = \tt70 \: cm[/tex]

Thus, the radius of the roller = 70 cm

Height of roller = 2 m = 2×100 cm = 200 cm

Curved surface area of roller = 1 revolution

The curved surface area of this roller :

[tex] =\tt 2\pi rh[/tex]

[tex] = \tt2 \times 3.14 \times 70 \times 200[/tex]

[tex] =\tt87920 \: {cm}^{2} [/tex]

Thus, the curved surface area of the roller = 87920 cm²

Number of revolutions that needs to be done to level the ground = 350

Distance the roller will travel to get leveled :

[tex] =\tt 87920 \times 350[/tex]

[tex] = \tt43960000 \: cm[/tex]

[tex] = \tt \frac{43960000}{100} \: m[/tex]

[tex] = \tt439600 \: m[/tex]

Thus, to level the playground the distance the roller should cover = 539600 m

Cost of covering one square meter of land = 75 Paise

Cost of covering 539600 m of land :

[tex] =\tt 539600 \times \frac{75}{100} \: Rs[/tex]

[tex] = \tt \frac{539600 \times 75}{100} \: Rs[/tex]

[tex] =\tt \frac{40470000}{100} \: Rs[/tex]

[tex]\color{plum} = \tt\bold{404700 \: rupees}[/tex]

Therefore :

▪︎The cost of leveling the playground = 404700 Rs
