  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. Disc integration - Wikipedia

    For example, the next figure shows the rotation along the x-axis of the red "leaf" enclosed between the square-root and quadratic curves: Rotation about x-axis. The volume of this solid is: (() ()). One should take caution not to evaluate the square of the difference of the two functions, but to evaluate the difference of the squares of the two ...

  4. Multiple integral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_integral

    Integral as area between two curves. Double integral as volume under a surface z = 10 − (⁠ x 2 − y 2 / 8 ⁠).The rectangular region at the bottom of the body is the domain of integration, while the surface is the graph of the two-variable function to be integrated.

  5. 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]

  6. 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 ...

  7. Simpson's rules (ship stability) - Wikipedia

    For instance, in the latter, Simpson's 3rd rule is used to find the volume between two co-ordinates. To calculate the entire area / volume, Simpson's first rule is used. [7] Simpson's rules are used by a ship's officers to check that the area under the ship's GZ curve complies with IMO stability criteria.

  8. Differential geometry of surfaces - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_geometry_of...

    Curves on a surface which minimize length between the endpoints are called geodesics; they are the shape that an elastic band stretched between the two points would take. Mathematically they are described using ordinary differential equations and the calculus of variations. The differential geometry of surfaces revolves around the study of ...

  9. Sphere–cylinder intersection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphere–cylinder_intersection

    Viviani's curve as intersection of a sphere and a cylinder. In the case = +, the cylinder and sphere are tangential to each other at point (,,). The intersection resembles a figure eight: it is a closed curve which intersects itself. The above parametrization becomes
