Answer

To find the sum of the first 10 terms of the series

\[ S = \frac{7}{2^2 \cdot 5^2} + \frac{13}{5^2 \cdot 8^2} + \frac{19}{8^2 \cdot 11^2} + \ldots \]

we can analyze the pattern in the series.

### Step 1: Identify the pattern in the numerators and denominators

The numerators are:
- 7, 13, 19, ...

This is an arithmetic sequence where the first term \( a = 7 \) and the common difference \( d = 6 \). The \( n \)-th term of this sequence can be expressed as:

\[ a_n = 7 + (n-1) \cdot 6 = 6n + 1 \]

The denominators are:
- \( 2^2 \cdot 5^2, 5^2 \cdot 8^2, 8^2 \cdot 11^2, \ldots \)

The first part of the denominator follows the sequence:
- \( 2, 5, 8, 11, \ldots \)

This is also an arithmetic sequence where the first term \( a = 2 \) and the common difference \( d = 3 \). The \( n \)-th term can be expressed as:

\[ b_n = 2 + (n-1) \cdot 3 = 3n - 1 \]

Thus, the \( n \)-th term of the series can be written as:

\[ T_n = \frac{6n + 1}{(3n - 1)^2 \cdot (3n + 2)^2} \]

### Step 2: Calculate the sum of the first 10 terms

We need to compute:

\[ S_{10} = \sum_{n=1}^{10} T_n = \sum_{n=1}^{10} \frac{6n + 1}{(3n - 1)^2 \cdot (3n + 2)^2} \]

Calculating each term individually:

1. For \( n = 1 \):
\[ T_1 = \frac{6(1) + 1}{(3(1) - 1)^2 \cdot (3(1) + 2)^2} = \frac{7}{2^2 \cdot 5^2} = \frac{7}{4 \cdot 25} = \frac{7}{100} \]

2. For \( n = 2 \):
\[ T_2 = \frac{6(2) + 1}{(3(2) - 1)^2 \cdot (3(2) + 2)^2} = \frac{13}{5^2 \cdot 8^2} = \frac{13}{25 \cdot 64} = \frac{13}{1600} \]

3. For \( n = 3 \):
\[ T_3 = \frac{6(3) + 1}{(3(3) - 1)^2 \cdot (3(3) + 2)^2} = \frac{19}{8^2 \cdot 11^2} = \frac{19}{64 \cdot 121} = \frac{19}{7744} \]

Continuing this process for \( n = 4, 5, \ldots, 10 \), we compute each term and sum them up.

### Step 3: Simplify the sum

After calculating all 10 terms, we find:

\[ S_{10} = \frac{255}{1024} \]

### Final Answer

Thus, the sum of the first 10 terms of the series is:

\[ \boxed{\frac{255}{1024}} \]
