1. An iron pillar has some part in the form of a right circular cylinder and remaining in the form of a right circular cone. The radius of the base of each of cone and cylinder is 8 cm. The cylinderical part is 240 cm high and the conical part in 36 cm high. Find the weight of the pillar if one cu. cm of iron weighs 7.8 grams.
2. An open container made up of a metal sheet is in the form of a frustum of a cone of height 8 cm with radii of its lower and upper ends as 4 cm and 10 cm respectively. Find the cost of oil which can completely fill the container at the rate of Rs. 50 per litre. Also, find the cost of metal used, if it costs Rs. 5 per 100 cm2.
