  2. 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,}

  3. Shell theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_theorem

    The mass of any of the discs is the mass of the sphere multiplied by the ratio of the volume of an infinitely thin disc divided by the volume of a sphere (with constant radius ). The volume of an infinitely thin disc is π R 2 d x {\displaystyle \pi R^{2}\,dx} , or π ( a 2 − x 2 ) d x {\textstyle \pi \left(a^{2}-x^{2}\right)dx} .

  4. List of moments of inertia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_moments_of_inertia

    Thin cylindrical shell with open ends, of radius r and mass m. = [1] The expression ″thin″ indicates that the shell thickness is negligible. It is a special case of the thick-walled cylindrical tube of the same mass for r 1 = r 2. Solid cylinder of radius r, height h and mass m.

  5. 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 ...

  6. Shell integration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_integration

    Much more work is needed to find the volume if we use disc integration. First, we would need to solve y = 8 ( x − 1 ) 2 ( x − 2 ) 2 {\displaystyle y=8(x-1)^{2}(x-2)^{2}} for x . Next, because the volume is hollow in the middle, we would need two functions: one that defined an outer solid and one that defined the inner hollow.

  7. Gaussian surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_surface

    A spherical Gaussian surface is used when finding the electric field or the flux produced by any of the following: [3] a point charge; a uniformly distributed spherical shell of charge; any other charge distribution with spherical symmetry; The spherical Gaussian surface is chosen so that it is concentric with the charge distribution.

  8. Disc integration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_integration

    Disc integration, also known in integral calculus as the disc method, is a method for calculating the volume of a solid of revolution of a solid-state material when integrating along an axis "parallel" to the axis of revolution. This method models the resulting three-dimensional shape as a stack of an infinite number of discs of varying radius ...

  9. Napkin ring problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napkin_ring_problem

    In this case the volume of the band is the volume of the whole sphere, which matches the formula given above. An early study of this problem was written by 17th-century Japanese mathematician Seki Kōwa. According to Smith & Mikami (1914), Seki called this solid an arc-ring, or in Japanese kokan or kokwan. [1]
