Question
The base of a solid S is a circular disk with radius r. Parallel cross-sections perpendicular to the base are isosceles triangles with height h and unequal side in the base.
(a) Set up an integral for the volume of S.
(b) By interpreting the integral as an area, find the volume of S.
Solution
The first step in solving 6.2 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The base of a solid S is a circular disk with radius r. Parallel cross-sections perpendicular to the base are isosceles triangles with height h and unequal side in the base.(a) Set up an integral for the volume of S.(b) By interpreting the integral as an area, find the volume of S.
From the textbook chapter Volumes you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
