Concept explainers
Volume of Concrete A culvert is constructed out of large cylindrical shells cast in concrete, as shown in the figure. Using the formula for the volume of a cylinder given on the inside front cover of this book, explain why the volume of the cylindrical shell is
Factor to show that
V = 2π · average radius · height · thickness
Use the “unrolled” diagram to explain why this makes sense geometrically

- Geometry The cylindrical shell shown in the figure has a volume of V=R2hr2h. (a) Factor the expression for the volume. (b) From the result of part (a), show that the volume is 2. (average radius) (thickness of the shell) h.arrow_forwardDimensions of a Box A box with a square base and no top is to be made from a square piece of cardboard by cutting 4-in. squares from each corner and folding up the sides, as shown in the figure. The box is to hold 100in3. How big a piece of cardboard is needed?arrow_forwardVolume of Fruit Crate A fruit crate has square ends and is twice as long as it is wide.

- Volume of a Box An open box with a volume of 1500cm3 is to be constructed by taking a piece of cardboard 20 cm by 40 cm. cutting squares of side length x cm from each corner, folding up the sides. Show that this can be done in two different ways, and find the exact dimension of the box in each case.arrow_forwardFinding Dimensions At a glassware factory, molten cobalt glass is poured into molds to make paperweights. Each mold is a rectangular prism whose height is 3inches greater than the length of each side of the square base. A machine pours 20cubic inches of liquid glass into each mold. What are the dimensions of the mold?arrow_forwardEngine Displacement The displacement for an automobile engine is the total volume displaced by the cylinders in one cycle of the engine. It is calculated in terms ofthe stroke S and the bore B. The stroke is the total distance travled by the piston from the top of the cylinder to the bottom of the cylinder. The bore is the diameter of the cylinder. If the bore and the stroke are given in inches, then the displacement D is in cubic inches. The displacement is given by the formula D=nSB/2 2, where n is the number cylinders. a. Subarus 2.5L H4 model 2000 engine has 4 cylinders with a bore of 3.92 inches and a stroke of 3.11 inches. What is the displacement for this engine? b. A 6-cylinder engine with a stroke of 3.01 inches is to be built so that the total displacement is 175 cubic inches. What is the proper bore for this engine.arrow_forward

One side of the pen is to be formed by an existing buliding and the other three sides by a fence see Figure 2.106. Let W be the length, in feet, of the sides of the rectangle perpendicular to the buliding, and let L be the length, in feet, of the other side. Figure 2.106 a.Find a formula for the total amount of fence needed in terms of W and L b. Express, as an equation involving W and L, the requirement that the area be 100 square feet. c.Solve the equation you found in part b for L. d.Use your answers to parts a and c to find a formula for F, the total amount, in feet, of fence needed, as a function of W alone. e.Make a graph of F versus W. f.Determine the dimension of the rectangle that requires a minimum amount of fence.arrow_forward
