  2. Sphere packing in a cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphere_packing_in_a_cylinder

    Sphere packing in a cylinder is a three-dimensional packing problem with the objective of packing a given number of identical spheres inside a cylinder of specified diameter and length. For cylinders with diameters on the same order of magnitude as the spheres, such packings result in what are called columnar structures .

  3. Capsule (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capsule_(geometry)

    A two-dimensional orthographic projection at the left with a three-dimensional one at the right depicting a capsule. A capsule (from Latin capsula, "small box or chest"), or stadium of revolution, is a basic three-dimensional geometric shape consisting of a cylinder with hemispherical ends. [1]

  4. Graduated cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graduated_cylinder

    A graduated cylinder, also known as a measuring cylinder or mixing cylinder, is a common piece of laboratory equipment used to measure the volume of a liquid. It has a narrow cylindrical shape. Each marked line on the graduated cylinder represents the amount of liquid that has been measured.

  5. D'Alembert's paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D'Alembert's_paradox

    Pressure distribution for the flow around a circular cylinder. The dashed blue line is the pressure distribution according to potential flow theory, resulting in d'Alembert's paradox. The solid blue line is the mean pressure distribution as found in experiments at high Reynolds numbers. The pressure is the radial distance from the cylinder ...

  6. Napkin ring problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napkin_ring_problem

    A problem on page 101 describes the shape formed by a sphere with a cylinder removed as a "napkin ring" and asks for a proof that the volume is the same as that of a sphere with diameter equal to the length of the hole.

  7. Right circular cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_circular_cylinder

    A right circular cylinder is a cylinder whose generatrices are perpendicular to the bases. Thus, in a right circular cylinder, the generatrix and the height have the same measurements. [ 1 ] It is also less often called a cylinder of revolution, because it can be obtained by rotating a rectangle of sides r {\displaystyle r} and g {\displaystyle ...

  8. Recognition-by-components theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recognition-by-components...

    The recognition-by-components theory suggests that there are fewer than 36 geons which are combined to create the objects we see in day-to-day life. [3] For example, when looking at a mug we break it down into two components – "cylinder" and "handle". This also works for more complex objects, which in turn are made up of a larger number of geons.

  9. Magdeburg hemispheres - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magdeburg_hemispheres

    The first artificial vacuum had been produced a few years earlier by Evangelista Torricelli and inspired Guericke to design the world's first vacuum pump, which consisted of a piston and cylinder with one-way flap valves. The hemispheres became popular in physics lectures as an illustration of the strength of air pressure, and are still used in ...
