A square based box and a cylinder |
2016-03-26 |
|
From rajpal:
i m trying to calculate an area required to hold 4.4 mln cubic metres of volume.
I used square and I get below result
A box shape that has dimensions 1500 meters (1.5km) by 1500 meters (1.5km) by 2 meters depth has a volume of:
= 4,500,000 cubic meters (4.5 mln cubic meters)
but when I use a cylinder shape, i get below result
A cylindrical shape that has a radius of 850 meters and a depth of 2 meters has a volume of:
= 4,539,600 cubic meters (4.54 mln cubic meters approx)
why is it that the cylinder, though of same depth holds more volume than a square?
kindly clarify.

Cutting a hexagon from a disk |
2014-04-05 |
|
From Paul:
I am a machinist and sometimes need to make a hex from
round material.
If I know the distance of the flat sides opposite one another
of my hex, how can I calculate the size of material I need to turn
to give me the right diameter to finish the part with six sides?

2012-01-11 |
|
From john:
find volume of solid generated by revolving the region in the first quadrant bounded by the curve y squared=x cubed, the line x=4 and the x-axis about the line y=8. The answer in the back of the book is 704 pi divided by5

A volume of revolution |
2007-04-08 |
|
From christina:
find the volume of the solid formed when region bounded by y=x/3, y=2
and the y-axis. it is revolved about the x-axis.
the assignment was to use both the washer method and the shell method
but when i solved for the volume, i got different answers.
i think my shell method is wrong because i know i'm having difficulties
with using "dy" instead of "dx"
here's my work so far:

Volumes |
1998-08-29 |
|
From Lorraine Wall:
Consider the region in the first quadrant bounded by the x and y axes, the vertical line x=3 and the curve y = 1 / (x squared + 3). Determine the volume of the solid by rotating this region about the x-axis. Now that is the first part.
I then have to find the coordinates of the centroid of the solid by rotating this region about the x-axis. Thanks.

Volumes of Revolution |
1998-07-24 |
|
From Lorraine Wall:
I'm on the section fpr The Computation of Volumes of Solids of Revolution and the following question is giving me problems: -Consider the region in the first quadrant bounded by the x-and y-axes, the vertical line x=3, and the curve y=1/(xsquared + 3) I can determine the volume of the solid by rotating the region about the y-axis using the shell method but I can't seem to be able to get started with the volume when rotated about the x-axis.
