There are various ways to calculate the volume of a cone. The one that I am trying is by evaluating the following integral $$textV = int_x^2+y^2 le a^2 int_0^fracha sqrta^2-x^2-y^2 1 dz dK = frac23 pi a^2 h$$ which is twice as the expected one! Where do I do wrong?



PS I got $z$ by using some trigonometric; as $dfracz^2h^2 = dfraca^2-x^2-y^2a^2.$ I guess that here $z$ is not like a 'normal' function of $(x,y)$ different from types like infinite paraboloid but even if so I don't know how it is related.

          Hint: Your dealing with the equation $dfracz^2h^2 = dfraca^2-x^2-y^2a^2$ is wrong, try with
          $$left(1-dfraczhright)^2 = dfracx^2+y^2a^2.$$






          share|cite|improve this answer





















          • I tried with $left(1-dfraczhright)^2 = dfracx^2+y^2a^2$ and it gives $1/3$. But how $dfracz^2h^2 = dfraca^2-x^2-y^2a^2$ is wrong?! Same triangle same theorem..

            Let $x=0$ in your equation, then you have a circle (ellipse) equation not a line

          • Yes again you are right! But I don't understand how $dfracz^2h^2 = dfraca^2-x^2-y^2a^2$ gives a wrong result (i.e. circle) when limited to $x=0$ though it comes from the same trigonometric theorem!

          • Sorry I didn't mean that. Of course it must be a line when limited to any line on plane through the origin; my question is that $z^2/h^2 = (a^2-x^2-y^2)/a^2$ must also give a line when the same limit applies but it fails and why? $z^2/h^2 = (a^2-x^2-y^2)/a^2$ has come from same rule as $(1-dfraczh)^2 = (x^2+y^2)/a^2.$ but it fails when testing a 'boundary' evaluation..

            Sorry. I gave you the true equation and I can't enlightened you dear. I think it's better you try more to find it yourself. This will be worthwhile.

          That region over which you are integrating is no cone at all. It's the top half of an ellipsoid.



          You will get the value that you're after computing the integral$$int_-a^aint_-sqrta^2-x^2^sqrta^2-x^2int_frac hasqrtx^2+y^2^h1,mathrm dz,mathrm dy,mathrm dx.$$Here, my cone is$$left(x,y,z)inmathbbR^3,middle.$$

          • $z^2/h^2 = (a^2-x^2-y^2)/a^2$ and $(1-z/h)^2 = (x^2+y^2)/a^2$ comes from the same theorem of trigonometric on the same object, but I don't understand why the latter gives an ellipsoid; both equations are also squared both use same $z$..
            – Edi
            Aug 2 at 19:10










          • $$fracz^2h^2=fraca^2-x^2-y^2a^2iff a^2z^2=(ah)^2-h^2x^2-h^2y^2iff h^2x^2+h^2y^2+a^2z^2=(ah)^2.$$Is this an ellipsoid or not?

            Aug 2 at 19:14











          • Of course it is but I derived it from a triangle as an intersection a plane through z-axis and the cone. So how it comes an ellipsoid?!

            Aug 2 at 19:17










          • The book says "..the cone $x^2+y^2le a^2, 0 le z le h/a^2(a^2-x^2-y^2) $" for hint and I don't know how it deduce $z$?
            – Edi
            Aug 2 at 19:19










          • @Edi Then the hint contains a mistake.

          We need 3 constants $ (a,h,z_1):$



          Equation of right circular cone with $z_1$ apex shift



          $$fracrz-z_1=fracah$$ or squaring,



          $$ r^2=x^2+y^2= (z-z_1)^2(a/h)^2.$$

            Because $dfracz^2h^2 = dfraca^2-x^2-y^2a^2$ is wrong. The correct one is $dfraczh = dfraca-sqrtx^2-y^2a$ which gives the correct answer $1/3 pi a^2 h$.

              Let $x=0$ in your equation, then you have a circle (ellipse) equation not a line

              Yes again you are right! But I don't understand how $dfracz^2h^2 = dfraca^2-x^2-y^2a^2$ gives a wrong result (i.e. circle) when limited to $x=0$ though it comes from the same trigonometric theorem!

              Sorry I didn't mean that. Of course it must be a line when limited to any line on plane through the origin; my question is that $z^2/h^2 = (a^2-x^2-y^2)/a^2$ must also give a line when the same limit applies but it fails and why? $z^2/h^2 = (a^2-x^2-y^2)/a^2$ has come from same rule as $(1-dfraczh)^2 = (x^2+y^2)/a^2.$ but it fails when testing a 'boundary' evaluation..

              That region over which you are integrating is no cone at all. It's the top half of an ellipsoid.
