  2. Right circular cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_circular_cylinder

    A right circular cylinder is a cylinder whose generatrices are perpendicular to the bases. Thus, in a right circular cylinder, the generatrix and the height have the same measurements. [ 1] It is also less often called a cylinder of revolution, because it can be obtained by rotating a rectangle of sides and around one of its sides.

  3. Piston motion equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piston_motion_equations

    The reciprocating motion of a non-offset piston connected to a rotating crank through a connecting rod (as would be found in internal combustion engines) can be expressed by equations of motion. This article shows how these equations of motion can be derived using calculus as functions of angle ( angle domain) and of time ( time domain) .

  4. Cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylinder

    This formula holds whether or not the cylinder is a right cylinder. [7] This formula may be established by using Cavalieri's principle. A solid elliptic right cylinder with the semi-axes a and b for the base ellipse and height h. In more generality, by the same principle, the volume of any cylinder is the product of the area of a base and the ...

  5. The Method of Mechanical Theorems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Method_of_Mechanical...

    The condition of balance ensures that the volume of the cone plus the volume of the sphere is equal to the volume of the cylinder. The volume of the cylinder is the cross section area, times the height, which is 2, or . Archimedes could also find the volume of the cone using the mechanical method, since, in modern terms, the integral involved ...

  6. Pappus's centroid theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pappus's_centroid_theorem

    The theorem applied to an open cylinder, cone and a sphere to obtain their surface areas. The centroids are at a distance a (in red) from the axis of rotation.. In mathematics, Pappus's centroid theorem (also known as the Guldinus theorem, Pappus–Guldinus theorem or Pappus's theorem) is either of two related theorems dealing with the surface areas and volumes of surfaces and solids of ...

  7. Cavalieri's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavalieri's_principle

    Consider a cylinder of radius and height , circumscribing a paraboloid = whose apex is at the center of the bottom base of the cylinder and whose base is the top base of the cylinder. Also consider the paraboloid y = h − h ( x r ) 2 {\displaystyle y=h-h\left({\frac {x}{r}}\right)^{2}} , with equal dimensions but with its apex and base flipped.

  8. Cylindrical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylindrical_coordinate_system

    Cylindrical coordinate system. A cylindrical coordinate system with origin O, polar axis A, and longitudinal axis L. The dot is the point with radial distance ρ = 4, angular coordinate φ = 130°, and height z = 4. A cylindrical coordinate system is a three-dimensional coordinate system that specifies point positions by the distance from a ...

  9. Potential flow around a circular cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potential_flow_around_a...

    Thus we find the maximum speed in the flow, V = 2U, in the low pressure on the sides of the cylinder. A value of V > U is consistent with conservation of the volume of fluid. With the cylinder blocking some of the flow, V must be greater than U somewhere in the plane through the center of the cylinder and transverse to the flow.
