VOLUME OF SPHERE
The volume of a sphere is the integral of infinitesimal circular slabs of thickness dx. The calculation for the volume of a sphere with center 0 and radius r is as follows.
The radius of the circular slabs is
The surface area of the circular slab is πy2.
The volume of the sphere can be calculated as
- Now
- and
Combining yields
This formula can be derived more quickly using the formula for the sphere's surface area, which is 4πr2. The volume of the sphere consists of layers of infinitesimal spherical slabs, and the sphere volume is equal to
=
VOLUME OF CONE
The volume of a cone is the integral of infinitesimal circular slabs of thickness dx. The calculation for the volume of a cone of height h, whose base is centered at (0,0) with radius r is as follows.
The radius of each circular slab is , and varying linearly in between -- that is,
The surface area of the circular slab is then
The volume of the cone can then be calculated as
Substituting u = h − x gives an integral with reversed limits, and dx = − du: that is,
Swapping the limits makes this
Integrating gives us
