How to find volume of cone+hemisphere on the cone using spherical coordinate

In summary, the conversation discusses how to find the volume of a hemisphere and a cone with a given radius and unknown height. The volume of the cone is calculated using basic geometry principles, while the volume of the hemisphere is calculated using the formula for a spherical cap. Combining the volumes of the two shapes gives the total volume of the solid. There is also a mention of a surface equation, but it is not clear how it relates to finding the volume.

i have a problem about find volume of hemisphere I do not know the true extent of radius r (0 to ?)

i think...
cone ( 0 < r < R cosec(\theta) )
hemisphere (0 < r < R)

Hi Another, welcome to MHB! (Wave)

Let's start with the cone.
\begin{tikzpicture}
\def\R{4}
\def\h{\R * cot(30)}
\def\Theta{20}
\coordinate (A) at (0,0);
\coordinate (B) at (0,{\h});
\coordinate (C) at ({\R},{\h});
\coordinate (D) at ({\h*tan(\Theta)},{\h});
\draw (A) -- node[above left] {$h$} (B) -- node[above] {R} (C) -- cycle;
\draw[blue, thick] (A) -- node[above left] {$r_{max}$} (D);
\path (A) node at ({90-\Theta/2}:1.3) {$\theta$};
\draw[thick] (A) +(0,1) arc (90:{90-\Theta}:1);
\end{tikzpicture}

We have $\tan 30^\circ = \frac Rh$ and $\cos\theta = \frac h{r_{max}}$ don't we?
Doesn't that mean:
$$0 < r < r_{max} = R\cot 30^\circ \sec\theta$$As for the hemisphere, suppose we translate it to the origin first before calculating its volume.
Then we just have $0 < r < R$ don't we? (Wondering)

No calculus needed...

If the radius of the cone and hemisphere is R units, then we can see the height of the cone we can evaluate by

$\displaystyle \begin{align*} \tan{ \left( \theta \right) } &= \frac{O}{A} \\ \tan{ \left( 30^{\circ} \right) } &= \frac{R}{h} \\ \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} &= \frac{R}{h} \\ \frac{h}{\sqrt{3}} &= R \\ h &= \sqrt{3}\,R \end{align*}$

Volume of the cone:

$\displaystyle \begin{align*} V &= \frac{1}{3}\,\pi\,r^2\,h \\ &= \frac{\pi\,R^2 \left( \sqrt{3}\,R \right) }{3} \\ &= \frac{\sqrt{3}\,\pi\,R^3}{3} \end{align*}$

Volume of the hemisphere:

$\displaystyle \begin{align*} V &= \frac{2}{3}\,\pi\,r^3 \\ &= \frac{2\,\pi\,R^3}{3} \end{align*}$

Thus the total volume is

$\displaystyle \begin{align*} V &= \frac{\sqrt{3}\,\pi\,R^3}{3} + \frac{2\,\pi\,R^3}{3} \\ &= \frac{\left( 2 + \sqrt{3} \right) \pi \, R^3}{3}\,\textrm{ units}^3 \end{align*}$

thank

But for this problem, if the surface equation is determined with [cos(theta)]^2 ? How can we find the volume of hemisphere + cone ?.

I have no idea what you mean by the surface equation, and the surface itself (an area) has absolutely nothing to do with the space inside it (the volume)...
 

FAQ: How to find volume of cone+hemisphere on the cone using spherical coordinate

How do you find the volume of a cone using spherical coordinates?

The formula for finding the volume of a cone using spherical coordinates is V = (1/3)πr^2h, where r is the radius of the base of the cone and h is the height of the cone. This formula is derived from the volume of a cone equation, V = (1/3)πr^2h, and converting the Cartesian coordinates (x,y,z) to spherical coordinates (ρ,φ,θ).

Can you explain the concept of spherical coordinates?

Spherical coordinates are a system of coordinates used to locate points in three-dimensional space. They consist of three parameters: ρ, φ, and θ. ρ represents the distance from the origin to the point, φ represents the angle between the z-axis and the line connecting the point to the origin, and θ represents the angle between the x-axis and the projection of the line onto the xy-plane.

What is the difference between a cone and a hemisphere?

A cone is a three-dimensional geometric shape with a circular base and a curved side that tapers to a point, while a hemisphere is a half of a sphere. Both shapes have a curved surface, but a cone has a point at the top while a hemisphere has a flat surface.

How do you find the volume of a hemisphere using spherical coordinates?

The formula for finding the volume of a hemisphere using spherical coordinates is V = (2/3)πr^3, where r is the radius of the hemisphere. This formula is derived from the volume of a sphere equation, V = (4/3)πr^3, and converting the Cartesian coordinates (x,y,z) to spherical coordinates (ρ,φ,θ).

Can you find the volume of a cone and a hemisphere on the same cone?

Yes, the volume of a cone and a hemisphere on the same cone can be found separately and then added together to get the total volume. The formula for finding the volume of a cone on top of a hemisphere is V = (1/3)πr^2h + (2/3)πr^3, where r is the radius of the base of the cone and h is the height of the cone. This formula is derived by adding the formulas for the volumes of a cone and a hemisphere together.
