Volumes by Disks and Washers

Volumes by Disks and Washers. Or, how much toilet paper fits on one of those huge rolls, anyway??. Howard Lee 8 June 2000. Damn, that’s a lotta toilet paper! I wonder how much is actually on that roll?. A Real Life Situation. Relief. CALCULUS!!!!!. How do we get the answer?.

  1. Volumes by Disks and Washers Or, how much toilet paper fits on one of those huge rolls, anyway?? Howard Lee 8 June 2000

  2. Damn, that’s a lotta toilet paper! I wonder how much is actually on that roll? A Real Life Situation Relief

  3. CALCULUS!!!!! How do we get the answer? (More specifically: Volumes by Integrals)

  4. Volume of a slice = Area of a slice x Thickness of a slice t A Volume by Slicing Volume = length x width x height Total volume =  (A x t)

  5. But as we let the slices get infinitely thin, Volume = lim  (A x t) t  0 Volume by Slicing Total volume =  (A x t) VOLUME =  A dt Recall: A = area of a slice

  6. x=f(y) x=f(y) Rotating a Function Such a rotation traces out a solid shape (in this case, we get something like half an egg)

  7. Slice Thus, the area of a slice is r^2 A = r^2 Volume by Slices } dt r

  8. Disk Formula VOLUME =  A dt But: A =  r^2, so… VOLUME =   r^2 dt “The Disk Formula”

  9. radius r x Volume by Disks y axis Slice x = f(y) x dy } thickness x axis Thus, A = x^2 but x = f(y) and dt = dy, so... VOLUME =   f(y)^2 dy

  10. Slice R r rotate around x axis dt More Volumes f(x) g(x) Area of a slice = (R^2-r^2)

  11. Washer Formula VOLUME =  A dt But: A =  (R^2 - r^2), so… VOLUME =  (R^2 - r^2) dt “The Washer Formula”

  12. Slice Big R little r R r dt Volumes by Washers f(x) f(x) g(x) g(x) dx Thus, A = (R^2 - r^2) = (f(x)^2 - g(x)^2) V =  (f(x)^2 - g(x)^2) dx

  13. f(x) g(x) rotate around x axis The application we’ve been waiting for... 2 1 0.5 1

  14. 1 V =  (2^2 - (0.5)^2) dx = 3.75 (1 - 0) = 3.75  0 Toilet Paper f(x) 2 So we see that: f(x) = 2, g(x) = 0.5 1 g(x) 0.5 1 0 V =  (f(x)^2 - g(x)^2) dx x only goes from 0 to 1, so we use these as the limits of integration. Now, plugging in our values for f and g:

  15. Just how much pasta can Pavarotti fit in that belly of his?? Other Applications? Feed me!!!!!! or, If you’re a Britney fan, like say ...

  16. "Me 'n Britney 4 eva."

  17. You can figure out just how much air that head of hers can hold! Britney Approximate the shape of her head with a function,

  18. The Recipe • and Integrate • Rotate • Slice

  19. And people say that calculus is boring... On the next episode of 31B... Volumes by Shells(aka TP Method) • Or, why anything you do with volumes will involve toilet paper in one way or another
