How to find the volume of a hemisphere on top of a cone

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The volume of a hemisphere on top of a cone can be calculated using triple integrals in spherical coordinates. The integral setup involves the limits for radius \( r \) from 0 to \( (r + R) \cos \theta \), with \( \theta \) ranging from 0 to \( \frac{\pi}{6} \) and \( \phi \) from 0 to \( 2\pi \). The integral simplifies to \( 2\pi \int \frac{1}{3} \left[ ((r+R) \cos \theta)^3 - r^3 \right] \sin \theta \, d\theta \). The final radius \( R \) is crucial for determining the volume, and the problem requires careful attention to the geometry of the cone and hemisphere.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of triple integrals in spherical coordinates
  • Knowledge of volume calculation for geometric shapes
  • Familiarity with the properties of integrals and trigonometric functions
  • Basic concepts of calculus, particularly integration techniques
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the application of triple integrals in spherical coordinates
  • Learn about the volume of cones and how to integrate them with other shapes
  • Explore advanced integration techniques for complex geometric problems
  • Investigate the relationship between angles and volumes in conical shapes
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals in mathematics, particularly those focused on calculus and geometric analysis, as well as anyone tackling problems involving volumes of composite shapes like cones and hemispheres.

Volume of hemi-sphere = ∫ ∫ ∫ r2 sinθ dr dθ dφ

i thing (r < r < (r + R)cosθ ) ( 0 < θ < 60 = π/6) and ( 0 < φ < 2π)

integral = 2π ∫ ⅓r3 sin θ dθ

= 2π ∫ ⅓ [((r+R)cosθ)3 - r3] sin θ dθ

i don't know how to find volume of hemi-spere

Please do not open more than one thread with the same topic, especially if the two are both ambiguous: with or without cone, what is ##r## needed for and what is ##a## in your other thread. Furthermore, do not delete the homework template, use it! It makes reading a lot easier and if you delete it, it can be viewed as disrespectful to those who are willing to answer.

I closed the other one.

I'm sorryi have problem about find volume of hemisphere on cone using triple integral. (spherical coordinates)
I do not know the true extent of r (From 0 to ?)
 
Beside what I've written in the other thread, with the mistakes mentioned and referring to the hemisphere without the cone involved, the final radius is ##R##. You had it almost all, beside that ##\cos \frac{\pi}{2}=0## and ##\cos 0 = 1## you only had to solve ##\int_0^R r^2dr## plus eventually the volume of the cone. I assume that it is a full hemisphere above the cone and the angle of ##30°## refers to the cone alone.
 
Too bad the OP has apparently abandoned this thread. It is a half way interesting problem if done directly in untranslated spherical coordinates.
