Calculating Volume by Cylindrical Shells

  • We now know one method for finding the volume of a solid of revolution. But there are tricky examples where the normal method won't work, like when both the inner and outer radius of a washer are being determined by the same function. Luckily there is another method we can use! It involves cylindrical shells. What's that, you ask? Watch this!

    per my understanding 2pixh is a surface area of cillinder at point x and by integration through x basically we get area integrated through x and hence the volume of shape. That's how I see it.

    I don't get how the average radius magically becomes r. Its clearly a value greater than r1 and less than r2 but you show it to be equal to r2 when you claim that 2*pi*r is the circumference of the outer circle at 4:07.

      they just make the difference so small that (r1-r2) which is delta r becomes dx in the limit, and when the difference is so small (r1+r2)/2 magically becomes r cus r1 almost equal to r2. dunno if this is correct.

    • @altube2025
      @altube2025 Před 2 lety +1

      At the limit we set Delta r to equal 0, and so r2-r1=0. At that point r2=r1=r and r2 + r1 just equals 2r. No need to bring up the average even, just keep in mind that at the limit we're dealing with infinitesimals.

    while findig the formula for the volume of the cilincrical shell, I don't get how could 2*pi*r be the circumference of the cilinder, since r2 is obviously the radius for its base circle, not the avarege radius. am I not noticing something?

    • @nezz0r
      @nezz0r Před 6 měsíci

      I think it is because:
      m = f'(x) = dy/dx = (f(x+a) - f(x)) / (x + h - x) = (f(x+a) - f(x)) / a
      so dx = a = x2 - x1 and in calculus as far as I know normally dx = Δx while dy != Δy.
      In this video r = x and by that dx = r2 - r1 which would be Δr.
      At least I think that is the reason why. If I'm wrong you may correct me.

    I understand that we just call the average value of the radii 'r', but why did we call (r2-r1) delta r? I did not get that part at all.

    • @altube2025
      @altube2025 Před 2 lety

      r2 - r1 is how much we have moved along the x-axis to get the next cylindrical shell, so this is delta x. When we integrate, we make each shell infinitely thin and so we set this delta x to approach 0 in the limit.
      You can think of this approach as those old style pirate telescopes that have smaller cylinders inside larger cylinders and can extend or collapse. Only here you've got infinitely many of them and each one is infinitely thin. The height of the cylinders follows the function. When you collapse them all inside each other, you get the whole bundt cake. When you integrate you're summing up the infinitesimal volumes of the cylinders by going along the x-axis (moving r2-r1 by an infestimal amount each time). You only need to integrate from 0 to 2 because each change in x gives you the whole cylinder shell. no need to worry about -2 to 0, that volume is already included.

      You find the zeros of the function. Set the function equal to 0 and solve for all values of x, then look for the two positive values and see if they fall within the bound you're given.
