The number of cubic centimetres (Volume) of material in the locating saddle.

Answer to Problem 28A

The number of cubic centimetres (Volume) of material in the locating saddle is $151.31{\text{cm}}^{\text{3}}$.

Explanation of Solution

Write the expression of the number of cubic centimetres (Volume) of material in the locating saddle.

 $V=V_1+2V_2+V_3-V_4-V_5$ ........ (I)

Here, the volume of the part 1 is $V_1$, the volume of the part 2 is $V_2$, the volume of the part 3 is $V_3$, the volume of the part 4 is $V_4$ and the volume of the part 4 is $V_4$.

Write the expression of the volume off the part 1 (Square part).

 $V_1=a^2{h}_1$ ........ (II)

Here, the side of the part 1 is $a$ and the height of the part 1 is $h_1$.

Write the expression of the volume off the part 2 (Rectangular part).

 $V_2=l_2{b}_2{h}_2$ ........ (III)

Here, the height of the part 2 is $h_2$, the length of the part 2 is $l_2$ and the width of the part 2 is $b_2$.

Write the expression of the volume off the part 3 (Rectangular part).

 $V_3=l_3{b}_3{h}_3$ ........ (IV)

Here, the height of the part 3 is $h_3$, the length of the part 3 is $l_3$ and the width of the part 3 is $b_3$.

Write the expression of volume of the part 4 (Semi circular part).

 $V_4=\pi r^2{t}_4$ ........ (V)

Here, the radius of the semi circular part is $r$ and the thickness of the semi circular part is $t_4$.

Write the expression of volume of the part 5 (Triangular part).

 $V_5=\frac{1}{2}{b}_5{h}_5{t}_5$ ........ (VI)

Here, the thickness of the triangular part is $t_5$, the height of the part 5 is $h_5$ and the base of the triangular part is $b_5$.

Calculation:

Substitute $6.5\text{cm}$ for $a$ and $2.5\text{cm}$ for $h_1$ in Equation (II).

 $\begin{array}{c}{V}_1={\left(6.5\text{cm}\right)}^2\left(2.5\text{cm}\right)\\ =\left(6.5\text{cm}\right)\left(6.5\text{cm}\right)\left(2.5\text{cm}\right)\\ =105.63{\text{cm}}^{\text{3}}\end{array}$

Substitute $6.5\text{cm}$ for $l_2$, $1\text{cm}$ for $b_2$ and $3.5\text{cm}$ for $h_2$ in Equation (III).

 $\begin{array}{c}{V}_2=\left(6.5\text{cm}\right)\left(1\text{cm}\right)\left(3.5\text{cm}\right)\\ =\left(6.5\text{cm}\right)\left(3.5{\text{cm}}^2\right)\\ =22.75{\text{cm}}^3\end{array}$

Substitute $6.5\text{cm}$ for $l_3$, $1.5\text{cm}$ for $b_3$ and $1\text{cm}$ for $h_3$ in Equation (IV).

 $\begin{array}{c}{V}_3=\left(6.5\text{cm}\right)\left(1.5\text{cm}\right)\left(1\text{cm}\right)\\ =\left(6.5\text{cm}\right)\left(1.5{\text{cm}}^2\right)\\ =9.75{\text{cm}}^{\text{3}}\end{array}$

Substitute $1.5\text{cm}$ for $r$ and $1\text{cm}$ for $t_4$ in Equation (V).

 $\begin{array}{c}{V}_4=\pi {\left(1.5\text{cm}\right)}^2\left(1\text{cm}\right)\\ =\pi \left(2.25{\text{cm}}^2\right)\left(1\text{cm}\right)\\ =7.07{\text{cm}}^{\text{3}}\end{array}$

Substitute $2.5\text{cm}$ for $b_5$, $2\text{cm}$ for $h_5$ and $1\text{cm}$ for $t_5$ in Equation (VI).

 $\begin{array}{c}{V}_5=\frac{1}{2}\left(2.5\text{cm}\right)\left(2\text{cm}\right)\left(1\text{cm}\right)\\ =\left(0.5\right)\left(2.5\text{cm}\right)\left(2\text{cm}\right)\left(1\text{cm}\right)\\ =2.5{\text{cm}}^{\text{3}}\end{array}$

Substitute $105.63{\text{cm}}^{\text{3}}$ for $V_1$, $2.5{\text{cm}}^{\text{3}}$ for $V_5$, $7.07{\text{cm}}^{\text{3}}$ for $V_4$, $9.75{\text{cm}}^{\text{3}}$ for $V_3$ and $22.75{\text{cm}}^3$ for $V_2$ in Equation (I).

 $\begin{array}{c}V=\left(105.63{\text{cm}}^{\text{3}}\right)+2\left(22.75{\text{cm}}^3\right)+\left(9.75{\text{cm}}^{\text{3}}\right)-\left(7.07{\text{cm}}^{\text{3}}\right)-\left(2.5{\text{cm}}^{\text{3}}\right)\\ =\left(105.63{\text{cm}}^{\text{3}}\right)+\left(45.5{\text{cm}}^3\right)+\left(9.75{\text{cm}}^{\text{3}}\right)-\left(7.07{\text{cm}}^{\text{3}}\right)-\left(2.5{\text{cm}}^{\text{3}}\right)\\ =151.31{\text{cm}}^{\text{3}}\end{array}$

Conclusion:

The number of cubic centimetres (Volume) of material in the locating saddle is $151.31{\text{cm}}^{\text{3}}$.
