  2. 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 ...

  3. Right circular cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_circular_cylinder

    The equilateral cylinder is characterized by being a right circular cylinder in which the diameter of the base is equal to the value of the height (geratrix). [ 4 ] Then, assuming that the radius of the base of an equilateral cylinder is r {\displaystyle r\,} then the diameter of the base of this cylinder is 2 r {\displaystyle 2r\,} and its ...

  4. On the Sphere and Cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Sphere_and_Cylinder

    On the Sphere and Cylinder (Greek: Περὶ σφαίρας καὶ κυλίνδρου) is a treatise that was published by Archimedes in two volumes c. 225 BCE. [1] It most notably details how to find the surface area of a sphere and the volume of the contained ball and the analogous values for a cylinder , and was the first to do so.

  6. Drag coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_coefficient

    Drag coefficients in fluids with Reynolds number approximately 10 4 [1] [2] Shapes are depicted with the same projected frontal area. In fluid dynamics, the drag coefficient (commonly denoted as: , or ) is a dimensionless quantity that is used to quantify the drag or resistance of an object in a fluid environment, such as air or water.

  7. List of moments of inertia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_moments_of_inertia

    The above formula is for the xy plane passing through the center of mass, which coincides with the geometric center of the cylinder. If the xy plane is at the base of the cylinder, i.e. offset by d = h 2 , {\displaystyle d={\frac {h}{2}},} then by the parallel axis theorem the following formula applies:

  8. Drag equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_equation

    In fluid dynamics, the drag equation is a formula used to calculate the force of drag experienced by an object due to movement through a fully enclosing fluid. The equation is: F d = 1 2 ρ u 2 c d A {\displaystyle F_{\rm {d}}\,=\,{\tfrac {1}{2}}\,\rho \,u^{2}\,c_{\rm {d}}\,A} where

  9. Volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume

    The last three books of Euclid's Elements, written in around 300 BCE, detailed the exact formulas for calculating the volume of parallelepipeds, cones, pyramids, cylinders, and spheres. The formula were determined by prior mathematicians by using a primitive form of integration, by breaking the shapes into smaller and simpler pieces.
