Use cylindrical shells to find the volume V of the solid.
A right circular cone with height 9h and base radius 5r. The answer is 75πhr^2 but my answer is 39πhr^2. How???
Well, it seems like you're in a bit of a conundrum there! Let's try to clear things up.
To find the volume using cylindrical shells, we usually integrate from the smallest radius to the largest radius. In this case, we're dealing with a right circular cone, so we can imagine slicing it horizontally into thin cylindrical shells.
The volume of a cylindrical shell with radius r and height h is given by V = 2πrhΔx, where Δx represents the thickness of the shell. In this case, we can set Δx = hr/5, since the cone has a height of 9h and base radius 5r.
Integrating from r = 0 to r = 5r, we get:
V = ∫[0,5r] 2πrh( hr/5 ) dr
= 2πh^2r^2/5 dr evaluated from r = 0 to r = 5r
= 2πh^2r^2/5 [(5r) - (0)]
= 2πh^2r^2
Now, notice that your answer of 39πhr^2 is missing a factor of 2 in the expression. So, if we multiply your answer by 2, we get:
2 * 39πhr^2 = 78πhr^2
Which is pretty close to the correct answer of 75πhr^2! It seems you were just a couple of mathematical tricks away from the right solution. Remember, math can be a bit tricky sometimes, but don't worry, it's all part of the fun!
To find the volume V of the solid using cylindrical shells, we need to integrate the volume of each cylindrical shell over the height of the cone.
Let's denote the radius of a cylindrical shell by `r` and its height by `h`.
First, let's describe the properties of the cone:
- The base radius of the cone is 5r.
- The height of the cone is given as 9h.
To calculate the volume of a cylindrical shell, we consider a thin vertical strip around the cone's height.
The width of this strip will be `dh`, and its height will be `h`. The radius of this cylindrical shell can be determined based on similar triangles. Since the cone's height is 9 times the cylindrical shell's height, the radius `r` of the cylindrical shell can be expressed in terms of `h` as `r = (5r/9h)h = 5h/9`.
The volume of each cylindrical shell is given by `dV = 2πrh * dh`.
Now, let's integrate the volume over the height of the cone to obtain the total volume:
V = ∫(0 to 9h) dV
= ∫(0 to 9h) (2πrh * dh)
= 2πr * ∫(0 to 9h) (h) dh
= 2π(5h/9) * ∫(0 to 9h) (h) dh
= 10π/9 * ∫(0 to 9h) (h^2) dh
= 10π/9 * [(1/3)(h^3)](0 to 9h)
= 10π/9 * [(1/3)(729h^3)]
= 10π/9 * (729h^3/3)
= 2430πh^3/3
Simplifying, we obtain:
V = 810πh^3
It seems there might have been an error in the calculation. The correct answer for the volume of the solid is 810πh^3, not 75πhr^2 or 39πhr^2.
To find the volume of the solid, we can use the method of cylindrical shells.
First, let's understand the setup of the problem. We have a right circular cone with height 9h and base radius 5r. The volume we need to determine is denoted as V.
To use the method of cylindrical shells, we need to consider a small vertical strip of height Δy at a distance y from the vertex of the cone. This strip will wrap around the cone-like a cylindrical shell, resulting in a small volume.
The volume of this cylindrical shell can be calculated as the product of its height Δy, the circumference of the shell 2π(5r + y), and a thickness Δx. The thickness Δx approaches zero, resulting in infinitesimally thin shells.
Thus, the volume of this small cylindrical shell becomes:
dV = 2π(5r + y) Δy Δx
To find the total volume V, we need to integrate this expression over the range of y values from 0 to 9h:
V = ∫(0 to 9h) ∫(some value to another value) 2π(5r + y) dy dx
The exact limits for the inner integral depend on the shape of the cross-sections as we move along the height of the cone. In this case, the radius of each cross-section is proportional to the height y.
The equation for the radius of the cross-section can be derived from similar triangles:
r' = (5r/9h) * y
Here, r' represents the radius at a particular height y.
Substituting this into our integral, we have:
V = ∫(0 to 9h) ∫(some value to another value) 2π(5r/9h * y + y) dy dx
Simplifying further:
V = ∫(0 to 9h) ∫(some value to another value) 2π(14r/9h * y) dy dx
Now let's evaluate this integral step by step.
First, let's integrate with respect to y:
∫(some value to another value) (14r/9h) * y dy
= [(14r/9h) * y^2 / 2] | (some value to another value)
= (14r/9h) * ( [(another value)^2 / 2] - [(some value)^2 / 2] )
= (14r/9h) * ( (another value)^2 - (some value)^2 ) / 2
Next, we evaluate the limits of integration for the y integral based on the shape of the cross-sections. Since the cone's height is 9h, the upper limit is 9h, and the lower limit is 0.
Substituting these values into our previous expression:
= (14r/9h) * ( (9h)^2 - (0)^2 ) / 2
= (14r/9h) * ( 81h^2 ) / 2
= (63r/2) * h
Now, we evaluate the outer integral with respect to x. Since there is no dependence on x in the expression, the integral simply becomes:
∫(0 to 1) (63r/2) * h dx
= (63r/2) * h * x | (0 to 1)
= (63r/2) * h * 1 - (63r/2) * h * 0
= (63r/2) * h
Hence, the final volume V is:
V = (63r/2) * h
Comparing this result to the given answer, it seems to be different. It is possible that there might be a mistake in either the original problem or the provided answer. Double-checking the calculations and revisiting the problem setup might help identify the discrepancy.
forget the 9h and 5r and just call them 9 and 5. The r^2h factor will come out at the end.
If you take a side view, where the axis of the cone lies on the x-axis, then the line of the side is x = 9 - 9/5 y
So, to rotate that around the x-axis,
v = ∫[0,5] 2πrh dy
where r=y and h=x
v = ∫[0,5] 2πy(9 - 9/5 y) dy = 18π∫[0,5] y - y^2/5) dy
= 18π(y^2/2 - y^3/15)[0,5] = 18π(25/2 - 25/3) = 18π*25/6 = 75π
How you got 39π I don't know, since you didn't see fit to show your work . . .
