Hello All,
I'm working on a problem which I'm currently stuck on. I would like to calculate the volume of fluid in a horizontal end cap.
(here k =1 and r = 1.5)
What i do is: Get the describing equation.
Then rotate it along the x axis. This gives a circle over the x axis on any given point on the curve. And finally integrate over the y axis. To get the volume.
Unfortunately if I put in numbers for k and r and try to compute the volume with y i don't get the correct results. A full volume with k =1 and r=1.5 should give me: 22.88. What have I done wrong?
