Surface area enclosed by Cylinders

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the surface areas and volumes enclosed by cylinders and cones using calculus integration, specifically through cylindrical coordinates. The surface area of a cylinder is defined as 2πr² + 2πrh, while the volume of a region bounded by a cylinder is calculated using the double integral of the difference between two functions over the specified limits. The volume of a cone is similarly derived using cylindrical coordinates, emphasizing the integration of the height and radius. Key mathematical expressions and integrals are provided for clarity.

I want to know how Surface areas enclosed by Cylinders , Cones..etc can be calculated using calculus integration...
 
Physics news on Phys.org
well a cylinder is just a square that 2 ends have been touched so wouldn't it be
2 pi r 2 + 2 pi r h or 2(pi r 2) + (2 pi r)* hand the inside and outside have the same surface area unless there's a thickness in which case R=distance to inner rim instead of outer this includes the top and bottom surface areas also

In both of those, it would probably be best to use cylindrical coordinates.

If, for example, your region is bounded by the cylinder [math]x^2+ y^2= R^2[/itex],
with top and bottom given by z= f(x,y) and z= g(x,y), respectively, then the volume is given by
[tex]\int\int (f(x,y)- g(x,y))dydc= \int_{r= 0}^R\int_{\theta= 0}^{2\pi} (f(r cos(\theta),r sin(\theta))- g(r cos(\theta),r sin(\theta))) r dr d\theta[/tex]

The volume of the region bounded above by the cone [itex]R^2(z-h)^2= x^2+ y^2[/tex] which, in cylindrical coordinates is [itex]R(z- h)= r[/itex], and below by z= 0, is given by<br /> [tex]\int_{r= 0}^R\int_{\theta= 0}^{2\pi} z rdrd\theta= \int_{r= 0}^R\int_{\theta= 0}^{2\pi} h+ \frac{r}{R} rdrd\theta[/tex][/itex]
