Homework Statement
Not expected to do for Home work but i found the problem interesting. The problem is exactly as stated in Att.
Homework Equations
Not sure:: d = C/pi?
The Attempt at a Solution
Really I don't see a systematic way of approaching this problem, but these are the ideas ! have: Notice that the limit of the of the partial sums must be = 1 ( for n = 1 to infinity; n n--> inf.) which is the radius of the outer circles. So Cn :: the expression to be found is convergent. Here also C1 > C2. 0 < Cn < Cn - 1 < 1. that let's me consider 1 > 1/(n + 1). which encourages .. 1 - 1/ (n +1) as the partial sum taking the lim n --> to inf. i get 1 then adding i get 1/n(n+1) for diameter of Cn Is this reasoning correct ? If not I'd appreciate a prod in right direction.
thanks guys
