...SURFACE AREAS AND VOLUMES 239 SURFACE AREAS AND VOLUMES 13 13.1 Introduction From Class IX, you are familiar with some of the solids like cuboid, cone, cylinder, and sphere (see Fig. 13.1). You have also learnt how to find their surface areas and volumes. Fig. 13.1 In our day-to-day life, we come across a number of solids made up of combinations of two or more of the basic solids as shown above. You must have seen a truck with a container fitted on its back (see Fig. 13.2), carrying oil or water from one place to another. Is it in the shape of any of the four basic solids mentioned above? You may guess that it is made of a cylinder with two hemispheres as its ends. Fig. 13.2 File Name : C:\Computer Station\Class - X (Maths)/Final/Chap-13/Chap-13 (28th Nov. 2006) 240 MATHEMATICS Again, you may have seen an object like the one in Fig. 13.3. Can you name it? A test tube, right! You would have used one in your science laboratory. This tube is also a combination of a cylinder and a hemisphere. Similarly, while travelling, you may have seen some big and beautiful buildings or monuments made up of a combination of solids mentioned above. If for some reason you wanted to find the surface areas, or volumes, or capacities of such objects, how would you do it? We cannot classify these under any of the solids you have already studied. Fig. 13.3 In this chapter, you will see how to find surface areas and volumes of such objects. ...

...To begin, you would need to be able to find the volume of the sphere in order to find the volume of the quarter sphere tank. Example: 4/3*3.14*(70^3) =1,436,026.67ft. After finding the volume of the quarter sphere tank we would need to find the volume of the main show tank. We would do this by dividing the volume of the sphere by 4. Example: 1436026.67/4=359,006.6675. Reflection pt.2: If you were to take a cross section parallel to the base of one of the holding tanks, how would you describe the shape?

...this study is to identify the density, the degree of compression which resides in a substance through the relationship between the mass the substance and its volume, of solid and liquid samples. The materials used for the liquid samples include: water, isopropyl alcohol, coconut oil and an unknown liquid. In order to determine the mass, volume and density the group measured the different samples as accurate as possible. The experimental density values were measured at 1.01 g/ml, 0.800 g/ml, 0.940 g/ml, and 0.800 g/ml respectively at room temperature. As the group calculated for the percent error, using the given formula, the result was below 3.00% for all the samples. The unknown liquid, kerosene, was identified by comparing the measured density with its theoretical value. As for the solid samples a wooden cube, rectangular plywood, a marble, and a pebble was used in the said activity. The experimental density values of the solid samples were measured at 0.500 g/cm3, 1.99 g/cm3, and 2.61 g/cm3 respectively. Finally, after accomplishing the study, the accuracy of measuring, the needed quantities and the mentioned results proved that such a great success was achieved. INTRODUCTION Density is the measurement of compactness of a substance which is mathematically expressed as the ratio of mass and volume. Density is an intensive property of a pure substance which means that...

...Timber Stack Measurement It is important to estimate timber volumes accurately either in the forest or when leaving. A number of methods can be used: Crop inventory carried out by a qualified professional in the forest prior to felling It can be calculated by modern thinning machines as harvesting takes place The timber can be measured in the stacks at roadside (see method described below) Weighing of the timber as it passes though the mill gate Timber Stack Measurement Advantages It is useful to estimate timber that is stacked at roadside: It can be done quickly by the forest owner It is useful to know how much timber is leaving the forest It is useful to calculate the volume of different individual stacks, which is important if different timber products are being sold separately from the one harvesting operation Disadvantages All logs in a stack must be of uniform length and the stack should be built neatly and tidy for easy measurement and accuracy. Large stacking space is required to ensure that all harvested material can be stacked at roadside before any removal is carried out by timber trucks. Length * Width * Height = Volume (unit = m3) Some definitions Stack width The width is the specified length of the timber product in the stack. A number of sample lengths (billets) should be checked to verify the stack width. Stack length Stack length is the average length of the front and back face of the stack. The stack should be measured...

...Justin Ladd Calc 1 4/12/2011 Mini Project 2 Mini Project 2 For this project I took a different approach. I wanted to try something that was a little more changeling for me and at the same time I wanted a problem that would make me think. I know for some people that this may not seem to be that hard of a problem but for me these types of problem are difficult. I wanted to pick a problem that pertained to my major, which is Mechanical Engineering but that did not work out to well for me on the last project because I ended up treating the problem like an engineering problem and not a calculus problem, so with that being said that’s one reason that I picked this problem. The other reason that I choose this problem is that it seemed interesting to me and it is a story problem. For me personally I struggle with story problems and have difficulty comprehending what the problem is asking me to find. So let me tell what the problem is and then I will explain how I think it is related to the curriculum and a real world phenomenon: A water trough is 10 m long and a cross-section has the shape of an isosceles trapezoid that is 30 cm wide at the bottom, 80 cm wide at the top, and has height 50 cm. If the trough is being filled with water at the rate of 0.2 m3/min, how fast is the water level rising when the water is 30 cm deep? This problem is related to the curriculum because it is about linear approximation and differentials (Stewart). We covered this section is 3.9...

...extent of a two-dimensional surface or shape, or planar lamina, in the plane. Area can be understood as the amount of material with a given thickness that would be necessary to fashion a model of the shape, or the amount of paint necessary to cover the surface with a single coat.[1] It is the two-dimensional analog of the length of a curve (a one-dimensional concept) or the volume of a solid (a three-dimensional concept). The area of a shape can be measured by comparing the shape to squares of a fixed size.[2] In the International System of Units (SI), the standard unit of area is the square metre (written as m2), which is the area of a square whose sides are one metre long.[3] A shape with an area of three square metres would have the same area as three such squares. In mathematics, the unit square is defined to have area one, and the area of any other shape or surface is a dimensionless real number. There are several well-known formulas for the areas of simple shapes such as triangles, rectangles, and circles. Using these formulas, the area of any polygon can be found by dividing the polygon into triangles.[4] For shapes with curved boundary, calculus is usually required to compute the area. Indeed, the problem of determining the area of plane figures was a major motivation for the historical development of calculus.[5] For a solid shape such as a sphere, cone, or cylinder, the area of its boundary surface is called the surface area.[1][6] Formulas for the surface areas of...

...Title: Laboratory Techniques and Measurements Purpose: To become familiar with common laboratory equipment and to become proficient in measuring volume, mass, length, temperature, density, and concentrations. Procedure: Length Measurements were determined using a metric ruler and measuring to the nearest mm. Temperature Measurements of boiling and ice water were measured using a thermometer and measuring to the nearest degree. Mass was measured using a digital scale in grams. Volume and density were determined by using a beaker of liquid and a digital scale for liquid measurements. Voume and density of solids were determined by calculating the volume with a ruler and measuring mass with digital scale. Water displacement was measured by placing an object in a container of water and measuring change in volume. Archimedes’ Method was determined by submerging an object which was hanging from a string into the liquid. The density of concentration was measured using volume and mass and also using different concentrations of liquids.
