Title: Gravity Proportional to Mass over Surface Area — A Dimensional Approximation I derived an approximation for surface gravity using the gravitational constant and surface area: g ≈ (4π G M) / A 🔍 What Each Symbol Means: • g: Surface gravity — the acceleration due to gravity at the...

My problem is when doing the surface integral of the ice cream bit. In the solution manual, it simply states that ##d\mathbf{a}=r\sin \theta d\phi dr \hat {\boldsymbol \theta}##. The way I solved this problem was to take ##\mathbf{\vec{r}}=(r\sin \theta \cos \phi, r\sin \theta \sin \phi, r\cos...

We've been measuring mesoporous material for years, but no one has the background to really dissect what the test does or what data is results in. We mainly just use it for comparisons. We are newly working with MOF and trying to measure their surface area and pore volume. I've become our new...

My interest is on number 11. In my approach; ##v= xyz## ##1000=xyz## ##z= \dfrac{1000}{xy}## Surface area: ##f(x,y)= 2( xy+yz+xz)## ##f(x,y)= 2\left( xy+\dfrac{1000}{x} + \dfrac{1000}{y}\right)## ##f_{x} = 2y -\dfrac{2000}{x^2} = 0##...

r,θ,ϕ For integration over the ##x y plane## the area element in polar coordinates is obviously ##r d \phi dr ## I can also easily see ,geometrically, how an area element on a sphere is ##r^2 sin\theta d\phi ## And I can verify these two cases with the Jacobian matrix. So that's where I'm at...

For some reason I have become very unsure but my gut feeling says i can calculate y=(1-x^(a/b))^(d/c) I already know the formula for calculating the volume. but can transfer the whole thing as a function of y(x) and take the integral then as a single integral?

Consider Gabriel's Horn, the mathematical object formed by a surface of revolution of the curve x= 1/x from x=1 to infinity. It is known that one can fill the horn with a volume of Pi cubic units of paint but it would take an infinite amount to paint the surface. I think they usually mean the...

I'm looking for an easy way to get the surface area of an arbitrary shaped 3D object. Getting the volume is easy by water displacement. What about area? Any neat tricks? We know different shapes can have the same volume and thus different surface areas so it's not a trivial problem. The purpose...

Why is this way of thinking wrong?. can't I assume that when Δx tends to zero is a sufficient approximation of what I want to get? It confuses me with the basic idea of integrating a function to get the area beneath a curve of a function (which isn't also as perfect) . PD: I put Δx tends to...
