A cooling tower for a nuclear reactor is to be constructed in the shape of a hyperboloid of one sheet. The diameter at the base

is 300 m and the minimum diameter, 500 m above the base, is 200 m. Find an equation describing the shape of the tower in the coordinates where the origin is at the center of the narrowest part of the tower. In particular, use coordinates where the origin is 500 m above the ground.

Okay so the equation you need to use is (x2/a2)+(y2/b2)-(z2/c2)=1

So an equation describing the shape of the tower in the coordinates where the origin is at the center of the narrowest part of the tower would be:

<span>x^2 / 100^2 + y^2 / 100^2 – z^2 / 2 * 100^2 = 1</span>

I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.

Hello,

as  the bases are circles,
equation is :

\dfrac{x^2}{a^2} + \dfrac{y^2}{a^2}- \dfrac{z^2}{c^2}=1\\\\&#10;if\ x=100,y=0,z=0\ then \  \dfrac{100^2}{a^2}=1\\\\&#10;a=100\\\\&#10;if\ x=150,y=0,z=-500\  then \\&#10; \dfrac{150^2}{100^2} + \dfrac{0^2}{100^2}- \dfrac{500^2}{c^2}=1\\\\&#10;c=100*\sqrt{2} \\\\&#10;\boxed{\dfrac{x^2}{100^2} + \dfrac{y^2}{100^2}- \dfrac{z^2}{2*100^2}=1}&#10;&#10;

What is the lmc of two numbers that have no common factors greater then 1
Luba_88 [7]
We can take prime numbers so they don't have a common factor other than 1.

3, and 5.

So we have to list the multiples to find the LCM

3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18
5: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25

15 is the LCM of 3 and 5

So, you can notice that if two numbers, lets call them a and b, have no common factor, then a \times b is the LCM.

Hope that helped :)
