  2. Cone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone

    A right circular cone and an oblique circular cone A double cone (not shown infinitely extended) 3D model of a cone. A cone is a three-dimensional geometric shape that tapers smoothly from a flat base (frequently, though not necessarily, circular) to a point called the apex or vertex that is not contained in the base.

  3. Pappus's centroid theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pappus's_centroid_theorem

    The theorem applied to an open cylinder, cone and a sphere to obtain their surface areas. The centroids are at a distance a (in red) from the axis of rotation.. In mathematics, Pappus's centroid theorem (also known as the Guldinus theorem, Pappus–Guldinus theorem or Pappus's theorem) is either of two related theorems dealing with the surface areas and volumes of surfaces and solids of ...

  4. Volume of an n-ball - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_of_an_n-ball

    A proof of the recursion formula relating the volume of the n-ball and an (n − 2)-ball can be given using the proportionality formula above and integration in cylindrical coordinates. Fix a plane through the center of the ball. Let r denote the distance between a point in the plane and the center of the sphere, and let θ denote the azimuth.

  5. Frustum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frustum

    The Egyptians knew the correct formula for the volume of such a truncated square pyramid, but no proof of this equation is given in the Moscow papyrus. The volume of a conical or pyramidal frustum is the volume of the solid before slicing its "apex" off, minus the volume of this "apex":

  6. Volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume

    On 7 April 1795, the metric system was formally defined in French law using six units. Three of these are related to volume: the stère (1 m 3) for volume of firewood; the litre (1 dm 3) for volumes of liquid; and the gramme, for mass—defined as the mass of one cubic centimetre of water at the temperature of melting ice.

  7. Nose cone design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nose_cone_design

    General parameters used for constructing nose cone profiles. Given the problem of the aerodynamic design of the nose cone section of any vehicle or body meant to travel through a compressible fluid medium (such as a rocket or aircraft, missile, shell or bullet), an important problem is the determination of the nose cone geometrical shape for optimum performance.

  8. Formulario mathematico - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formulario_mathematico

    Formulario Mathematico. Formulario Mathematico (Latino sine flexione: [1] Formulary for Mathematics) is a book [2] by Giuseppe Peano which expresses fundamental theorems of mathematics in a symbolic language developed by Peano.

  9. Convex cone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_cone

    A subset of a vector space over an ordered field is a cone (or sometimes called a linear cone) if for each in and positive scalar in , the product is in . [2] Note that some authors define cone with the scalar ranging over all non-negative scalars (rather than all positive scalars, which does not include 0). [3]
