  2. Solid of revolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_of_revolution

    Two common methods for finding the volume of a solid of revolution are the disc method and the shell method of integration.To apply these methods, it is easiest to draw the graph in question; identify the area that is to be revolved about the axis of revolution; determine the volume of either a disc-shaped slice of the solid, with thickness δx, or a cylindrical shell of width δx; and then ...

  3. Spherical shell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_shell

    An approximation for the volume of a thin spherical shell is the surface area of the inner sphere multiplied by the thickness t of the shell: [2] V ≈ 4 π r 2 t , {\displaystyle V\approx 4\pi r^{2}t,}

  4. Surface of revolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_of_revolution

    A portion of the curve x = 2 + cos(z) rotated around the z-axis A torus as a square revolved around an axis parallel to one of its diagonals.. A surface of revolution is a surface in Euclidean space created by rotating a curve (the generatrix) one full revolution around an axis of rotation (normally not intersecting the generatrix, except at its endpoints). [1]

  5. Volume integral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_integral

    In mathematics (particularly multivariable calculus), a volume integral (∭) is an integral over a 3-dimensional domain; that is, it is a special case of multiple integrals. Volume integrals are especially important in physics for many applications, for example, to calculate flux densities, or to calculate mass from a corresponding density ...

  6. Boyle's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boyle's_law

    where P is the pressure of the gas, V is the volume of the gas, and k is a constant for a particular temperature and amount of gas. Boyle's law states that when the temperature of a given mass of confined gas is constant, the product of its pressure and volume is also constant. When comparing the same substance under two different sets of ...

  7. Surface integral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_integral

    The obvious solution is then to split that surface into several pieces, calculate the surface integral on each piece, and then add them all up. This is indeed how things work, but when integrating vector fields, one needs to again be careful how to choose the normal-pointing vector for each piece of the surface, so that when the pieces are put ...

  8. Volume form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_form

    In other words, a volume form gives rise to a measure with respect to which functions can be integrated by the appropriate Lebesgue integral. The absolute value of a volume form is a volume element, which is also known variously as a twisted volume form or pseudo-volume form. It also defines a measure, but exists on any differentiable manifold ...

  9. Steinmetz solid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steinmetz_solid

    The generation of a bicylinder Calculating the volume of a bicylinder. A bicylinder generated by two cylinders with radius r has the volume =, and the surface area [1] [6] =.. The upper half of a bicylinder is the square case of a domical vault, a dome-shaped solid based on any convex polygon whose cross-sections are similar copies of the polygon, and analogous formulas calculating the volume ...
