In calculus when you learn solids of revolution in relation to surface area or volume is there any specific uses that someone could enlighten me on in which this would be used. The only example I can think of is a lathe, and calculating its mass using the volume. Other then that I haven't seen any true uses for this. So has anyone found a particular use they'd like to share?
