A thick-walled glass tumbler is modeled by rotating two radius profiles about the x-axis. All dimensions are in centimeters. The outer radius is \(f(x)=0.5x+3\) on \([0,6]\), and the inner radius is \(g(x)=\sqrt{4x-4}\) on \([1,6]\).
a) Find the maximum capacity in milliliters. Round to the nearest tenth.
b) Find the volume of glass, both exactly and to the nearest tenth of a cubic centimeter.
c) The glass density is \(2.5\,\text{g/cm}^3\). Find the mass to the nearest tenth of a gram.
Hints
- Use the inner profile to find the cavity volume.
- The delayed start of the inner profile creates a solid glass base.
- Subtract the cavity volume from the full outer volume, then use mass equals density times volume.
Solution
1. The cavity volume is \(V_{\text{cavity}}=\pi\int_1^6(4x-4)\,\mathrm{d}x=50\pi\,\text{cm}^3\approx157.1\,\text{cm}^3=157.1\,\text{mL}\).
2. The full outer volume is \(V_{\text{outer}}=\pi\int_0^6(0.5x+3)^2\,\mathrm{d}x=126\pi\,\text{cm}^3\).
3. Therefore, the glass volume is \(76\pi\,\text{cm}^3\approx238.8\,\text{cm}^3\), and the mass is \(2.5(76\pi)=190\pi\,\text{g}\approx596.9\,\text{g}\).
Answer
a) \(157.1\,\text{mL}\)
b) \(76\pi\,\text{cm}^3\approx238.8\,\text{cm}^3\)
c) \(596.9\,\text{g}\)
