A sundial on an elliptical cylinder |
2009-07-22 |
|
From Leo:
I want to build a sundial where the shadow falls on an elliptical cylinder. I can
calculate the coordinates of the points on the cylinder that I want to mark.
My problem is that I will have to make the surface as a flat sheet and bend it
into an elliptical shape. However, I cannot work out a scheme to transfer
the coordinates I know into a distance that will work when I bend the shape.
Help!

From Usman:
Hi, in my Grade 11 Functions math class we have been assigned the task of finding jobs and careers related to quadratics, I have done many searches but have been unsuccessful, then I saw your website and e-mailed. I also have to use an example of a math problem that the job uses, then solve it, this will all compile on bristol board for a presentation. I would greatly appreciate it if you could send me some links and references of sources that refer to this subject.

An elliptical table |
2005-01-03 |
|
From Roger:
Want to make an elliptical table, say the long (major) axis is 4 feet, and the short (minor) axis is 3 feet. I can construct this figure, but I'm trying to figure out what the exact dimension of a rectangle within this ellipse will be if I make the table a drop leaf type where the drop dimensions are equal for each end of both the long and short axes. Intuitively, it looks like there is one and only one solution.
