Question 8: In a hot water heating system, there is a cylindrical pipe of length 28 m and diameter 5 cm. Find the total radiating surface in the system.
Prerequisite
A closed cylinder has 3 surfaces:
- Curved or lateral surface
- Top
- Base
The formula to calculate the curved surface area and total surface area are quite simple to learn and derive.
Lateral or curved surface area of cylinder = 2πrh
r = radius, h = height (or length)
Total surface area of cylinder = 2πr ( r + h )
r = radius, h = height (or length)
It is recommended to understand the core concept of area, surface area and volume before we attempt any question based on these concepts.
