If the lateral areas of two similar cylinders are 50pi cm sq and 18pi cm sq and the volume of the smaller cylinder is 54pi cm cubed what is the volume of the larger cylinder?

The two cylinders are similar - they are of corresponding shapes but one is x times bigger than the other. If a cylinder is x times bigger in a single dimension, it will be x2 times greater in measurements involving two dimensions (i.e. area) and x3 times bigger in three dimensions (volume). Here, the ratio in two dimensions is 50pi / 18pi. This cancels to 25/9. So in terms of area, one is 25/9 times larger. x2 = 25/9
So x = sqrt25/sqrt9 = 5/3
and x3 = 53/33 = 125/27 (If you prefer, one can just write (25/9)3/2 = 125/27) In terms of volume, then, the big cylinder is 125/27 times bigger. Multiply this ratio by the volume of the small cylinder... 54pi x 125/27 cancels to 2pi x 125 = 250pi cm3. ...and you have the volume of the big cylinder. (It's tidiest to leave the answer in terms of pi.) This is just a question about scale factors, and the identity of the objects as cylinders is irrelevant, because they are similar. The way in which the figures neatly cancel without producing any horrendous decimals suggests that this question came from a textbook or an exam paper.

What is the similarity ratio of the smaller to the larger similar cylinders S. A. 48 pi sq and S.A. 75 pi m sq?
It appears to be: 16 to 25 but only if the cylinders are 48*pi*m^2 and 75*pi*m^2
Is a small cylinder or a large cylinder more accurate?
smaller

a smaller cylinder when cut horizontally. A semi-circle when cut vertically

How many cylinders is 2700cc?
2700cc is the displacement of the engine. Typically, the higher the displacement, the more cylinders the engine will have. 2.7 liters (which is 2700cc) would make for a larger 4 cylinder engine, or a smaller 6 cylinder engine. Though it would be rare, it would be a good size for a 5 cylinder engine. Other configurations are possible also.
Why 8 cylinders are present in an engine?
First of all not engines have 8 cylinders, there can be both fewer and more of them. But 8, particularly in a V-formation has turned out to be a fairly useful configuration. If you want the same power from a smaller number, the cylinders have to be bigger, which means that you have to build them stronger. If you wanted the same power from more cylinders, you could build each cylinder smaller, but you'd need more parts that have to fit together just right. On top of that, with 8 cylinders, you get a nice distribution of the power contribution from each cylinder, making the engine run smoothly. With fewer cylinders, each power push will be further apart, making it a bit jerky...
Why do multi-cylinder engines have smaller flywheels than single-cylinder engines?
it is economical The power events occur more often with more cylinders. That then doesn't require a heavy flywheel to keep the engine rotating smoothly.

What is the similarity ratio of the smaller to the larger similar cylinders S. A. 48 pi sq and S.A. 75 pi m sq?
It appears to be: 16 to 25 but only if the cylinders are 48*pi*m^2 and 75*pi*m^2
What is the thin bone lateral to the tibia?
The fibula is the thinner bone lateral to the tibia. The fibula is the smaller bone of the lower leg.
Is a small cylinder or a large cylinder more accurate?
smaller
Will the lateral displacement become larger or smaller if the glass block is made thicker?
It will increase
What is the outer smaller bone of the leg?
The fibula is the smaller of the two long bones in the lower legs that is on the outer or lateral aspect on either leg.
Where is the clutch master cylinder in a alfa 33?
If it's a right hand drive, it's just to the left of the brake booster. There is a hose coming off the left of the brake master cylinder, follow that and you will get to the clutch master cylinder - it looks similar to the brake master cylinder but smaller. If it's a left hand drive, it should be the reverse.
What does the starter motor look like?
Like a cylinder with a smaller cylinder on to of it. It will be sittind sideways
Is the fibula lateral to the tibia?
The tibia is medial to the fibula. The tibia is the larger of the lower leg bones.
