Pick's theorem

Rotating a curve. The surface formed is a surface of revolution; it encloses a solid of revolution.

In mathematics, engineering, and manufacturing, a solid of revolution is a solid figure obtained by rotating a plane curve around some straight line (the axis) that lies on the same plane.

Assuming that the curve does not cross the axis, the solid's volume is equal to the length of the circle described by the figure's centroid multiplied by the figure's area (Pappus's second centroid Theorem).

A representative disk is a three-dimensional volume element of a solid of revolution. The element is created by rotating a line segment (of length w) around some axis (located r units away), so that a cylindrical volume of π∫r²w units is enclosed.

Finding the volume

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 find the limiting sum of these volumes as δx approaches 0, a value which may be found by evaluating a suitable integral.

Disc method

Disc integration about the y-axis

The disc method is used when the slice that was drawn is perpendicular to the axis of revolution; i.e. when integrating parallel to the axis of revolution.

The volume of the solid formed by rotating the area between the curves of $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ and the lines $x=a$ and $x=b$ about the x-axis is given by

$V=\pi \int _{a}^{b}\vert f^{2}(x)-g^{2}(x)\vert \,dx$

If g(x) = 0 (e.g. revolving an area between curve and x-axis), this reduces to:

$V=\pi \int _{a}^{b}f^{2}(x)\,dx\qquad (1)$

The method can be visualized by considering a thin horizontal rectangle at y between $y=f(x)$ on top and $y=g(x)$ on the bottom, and revolving it about the y-axis; it forms a ring (or disc in the case that $g(x)=0$), with outer radius f(x) and inner radius g(x). The area of a ring is $\pi (R^{2}-r^{2})$, where R is the outer radius (in this case f(x)), and r is the inner radius (in this case g(x)). Summing up all of the areas along the interval gives the total volume. Alternatively, where each disc has a radius of f(x), the discs approach perfect cylinders as their height dx approaches zero. The volume of each infinitesimal disc is therefore $\pi f^{2}(x)dx$. An infinite sum of the discs between a and b manifests itself as integral (1).

Cylinder method

Shell integration

The cylinder method is used when the slice that was drawn is parallel to the axis of revolution; i.e. when integrating perpendicular to the axis of revolution.

The volume of the solid formed by rotating the area between the curves of $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ and the lines $x=a$ and $x=b$ about the y-axis is given by

$V=2\pi \int _{a}^{b}x\vert f(x)-g(x)\vert \,dx$

If g(x) = 0 (e.g. revolving an area between curve and y-axis), this reduces to:

$V=2\pi \int _{a}^{b}x\vert f(x)\vert \,dx$

The method can be visualized by considering a thin vertical rectangle at x with height $[f(x)-g(x)]$, and revolving it about the y-axis; it forms a cylindrical shell. The lateral surface area of a cylinder is $2\pi rh$, where r is the radius (in this case x), and h is the height (in this case $[f(x)-g(x)]$). Summing up all of the surface areas along the interval gives the total volume.

Parametric form

When a curve is defined by its parametric form $(x(t),y(t))$ in some interval $[a,b]$, the volumes of the solids generated by revolving the curve around the x-axis, resp. the y-axis are given by

$V_{x}=\int _{a}^{b}\,\pi \,y^{2}\,{\frac {dx}{dt}}\,dt$

$V_{y}=\int _{a}^{b}\pi \,\,x^{2}\,{\frac {dy}{dt}}\,dt.$

Under the same circumstances the areas of the surfaces of the solids generated by revolving the curve around the x-axis, resp. the y-axis are given by

$A_{x}=\int _{a}^{b}2\pi y\,{\sqrt {\left({\frac {dx}{dt}}\right)^{2}+\left({\frac {dy}{dt}}\right)^{2}}}\,dt$

$A_{y}=\int _{a}^{b}2\pi x\,{\sqrt {\left({\frac {dx}{dt}}\right)^{2}+\left({\frac {dy}{dt}}\right)^{2}}}\,dt$

  I had like 17 domains hosted on single account, and never had any special troubles. If you are not happy with the service you will get your money back with in 45 days, that's guaranteed. But the Search Engine utility inside the Hostgator account furnished an instant score for my launched website. Fantastico is unable to install WordPress in a directory which already have any file i.e to install WordPress using Fantastico the destination directory must be empty and it should not have any previous installation files. When you share great information, others will take note. Once your hosting is purchased, you will need to setup your domain name to point to your hosting. Money Back: All accounts of Hostgator come with a 45 day money back guarantee. If you have any queries relating to where by and how to use Hostgator Discount Coupon, you can make contact with us at our site. If you are starting up a website or don't have too much website traffic coming your way, a shared plan is more than enough. Condition you want to take advantage of the worldwide web you prerequisite a HostGator web page, -1 of the most trusted and unfailing web suppliers on the world wide web today.

  Hostgator tutorials on how to install Wordpress need not be complicated, especially when you will be dealing with a web hosting service that is friendly for novice webmasters and a blogging platform that is as intuitive as riding a bike. After that you can get Hostgator to host your domain and use the wordpress to do the blogging. Once you start site flipping, trust me you will not be able to stop. I cut my webmaster teeth on Control Panel many years ago, but since had left for other hosting companies with more commercial (cough, cough) interfaces. If you don't like it, you can chalk it up to experience and go on. First, find a good starter template design. When I signed up, I did a search for current "HostGator codes" on the web, which enabled me to receive a one-word entry for a discount. Your posts, comments, and pictures will all be imported into your new WordPress blog.
