Question

Volume oblate spheroid

Answer 1

The volume of the oblate spheroid is approximately equal to 75.398 cubic feet.

What is the volume of an oblate spheroid?

In this problem we have the shape of an ellipse centered at origin, whose vertex form is shown below:

x² / a² + y² / b² = 1        (1)

Where a, b are the lengths of the semiaxes, in feet.

An oblate spheroid is generated by revolving half of the ellipse about the y-axis. Oblate spheroids are a kind of ellipse:

x² / a² + y² / b² + z² / a² = 1       (2)

Where a, b, c are the lengths of the semiaxes, in feet.

And the volume of the oblate spheroid is:

V = (4 / 3) · π · a² · b      (3)

If we know that a = 3 ft, b = 2 ft, then the volume of the oblate spheroid is:

V = (4 / 3) · π · (3 ft)² · (2 ft)

V ≈ 75.398 ft³

The volume of the oblate spheroid is approximately equal to 75.398 cubic feet.
