Height of the cylinder ($h$) = $10\text{ cm}$

Step 1: Calculate Total Surface Area (TSA)
The formula for the total surface area of a cylinder is: $$\text{TSA} = 2\pi r (r + h)$$ Substitute the given values into the formula: $$\text{TSA} = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 7 \times (7 + 10)$$ $$\text{TSA} = 44 \times 17 = 748\text{ cm}^2$$
Step 2: Calculate Volume ($V$)
The formula for the volume of a cylinder is: $$V = \pi r^2 h$$ Substitute the given values into the formula: $$V = \frac{22}{7} \times (7)^2 \times 10$$ $$V = \frac{22}{7} \times 49 \times 10 = 22 \times 7 \times 10 = 1540\text{ cm}^3$$

Solution:
Given data:
Radius ($r$) = $2.1\text{ m} = \frac{21}{10}\text{ m}$
Height ($h$) = $5\text{ m}$

Step 1: Find the Volume of the Tank ($V$)
$$V = \pi r^2 h$$ $$V = \frac{22}{7} \times \left(\frac{21}{10}\right)^2 \times 5$$ $$V = \frac{22}{7} \times \frac{441}{100} \times 5$$ $$V = \frac{22 \times 63 \times 5}{100} = \frac{6930}{100} = 69.3\text{ m}^3$$

Inner radius ($r$) = $4\text{ cm}$
Length/Height ($h$) = $21\text{ cm}$

Step 1: Apply Hollow Cylinder Volume Formula
$$V = \pi (R^2 - r^2) h$$ $$V = \frac{22}{7} \times (5^2 - 4^2) \times 21$$ $$V = \frac{22}{7} \times (25 - 16) \times 21$$ $$V = 22 \times 9 \times 3$$ $$V = 594\text{ cm}^3$$
Answer: Volume of iron = $$594\text{ cm}^3$$
