Answer:

There is 2.215 liters in each of the 4 pitchers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of liters in each of the 4 pitchers.

4x + 0.5 = 9

4x = 8.5

x = 2.125

Name/ Uid:1. In this problem, try to write the equations of the given surface in the specified coordinates.(a) Write an equation

Gemiola [76]

To find:

(a) Equation for the sphere of radius 5 centered at the origin in cylindrical coordinates

(b) Equation for a cylinder of radius 1 centered at the origin and running parallel to the z-axis in spherical coordinates

Solution:

(a) The equation of a sphere with center at (a, b, c) & having a radius 'p' is given in cartesian coordinates as:

$(x-a)^{2}+(y-b)^{2}+(z-c)^{2}=p^{2}$

Here, it is given that the center of the sphere is at origin, i.e., at (0,0,0) & radius of the sphere is 5. That is, here we have,

$a=b=c=0,p=5$

That is, the equation of the sphere in cartesian coordinates is,

$(x-0)^{2}+(y-0)^{2}+(z-0)^{2}=5^{2}$

$\Rightarrow x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}=25$

Now, the cylindrical coordinate system is represented by $(r, \theta,z)$

The relation between cartesian and cylindrical coordinates is given by,

$x=rcos\theta,y=rsin\theta,z=z$

$r^{2}=x^{2}+y^{2},tan\theta=\frac{y}{x},z=z$

Thus, the obtained equation of the sphere in cartesian coordinates can be rewritten in cylindrical coordinates as,

$r^{2}+z^{2}=25$

This is the required equation of the given sphere in cylindrical coordinates.

(b) A cylinder is defined by the circle that gives the top and bottom faces or alternatively, the cross section, & it's axis. A cylinder running parallel to the z-axis has an axis that is parallel to the z-axis. The equation of such a cylinder is given by the equation of the circle of cross-section with the assumption that a point in 3 dimension lying on the cylinder has 'x' & 'y' values satisfying the equation of the circle & that 'z' can be any value.

That is, in cartesian coordinates, the equation of a cylinder running parallel to the z-axis having radius 'p' with center at (a, b) is given by,

$(x-a)^{2}+(y-b)^{2}=p^{2}$

Here, it is given that the center is at origin & radius is 1. That is, here, we have, $a=b=0,p=1$ . Then the equation of the cylinder in cartesian coordinates is,

$x^{2}+y^{2}=1$

Now, the spherical coordinate system is represented by $(\rho,\theta,\phi)$

The relation between cartesian and spherical coordinates is given by,

$x=\rho sin\phi cos\theta,y=\rho sin\phi sin\theta, z= \rho cos\phi$

Thus, the equation of the cylinder can be rewritten in spherical coordinates as,

$(\rho sin\phi cos\theta)^{2}+(\rho sin\phi sin\theta)^{2}=1$

$\Rightarrow \rho^{2} sin^{2}\phi cos^{2}\theta+\rho^{2} sin^{2}\phi sin^{2}\theta=1$

$\Rightarrow \rho^{2} sin^{2}\phi (cos^{2}\theta+sin^{2}\theta)=1$

$\Rightarrow \rho^{2} sin^{2}\phi=1$ (As $sin^{2}\theta+cos^{2}\theta=1$ )

Note that $\rho$ represents the distance of a point from the origin, which is always positive. $\phi$ represents the angle made by the line segment joining the point with z-axis. The range of $\phi$ is given as $0\leq \phi\leq \pi$ . We know that in this range the sine function is positive. Thus, we can say that $sin\phi$ is always positive.

Thus, we can square root both sides and only consider the positive root as,

$\Rightarrow \rho sin\phi=1$

This is the required equation of the cylinder in spherical coordinates.

Final answer:

(a) The equation of the given sphere in cylindrical coordinates is $r^{2}+z^{2}=25$

(b) The equation of the given cylinder in spherical coordinates is $\rho sin\phi=1$

A cylinder has radius r and height h. A. How many times greater is the surface area of a cylinder when both dimensions are multi

Ierofanga [76]

Answer: A. Factor 2 => 4x greater

Factor 3 => 9x greater

Factor 5 => 25x greater

Step-by-step explanation: A. A cylinder is formed by 2 circles and a rectangle in the middle. That's why surface area is given by circumference of a circle, which is the length of the rectangle times height of the rectangle, i.e.:

A = 2.π.r.h

A cylinder of radius r and height h has area:

$A_{1}$ = 2πrh

If multiply both dimensions <u>by a factor of 2</u>:

$A_{2}$ = 2.π.2r.2h

$A_{2}$ = 8πrh

Comparing $A_{1}$ to $A_{2}$ :

$\frac{A_{2}}{A_{1}}$ = $\frac{8.\pi.rh}{2.\pi.rh}$ = 4

Doubling radius and height creates a surface area of a cylinder 4 times greater.

<u>By factor 3:</u>

$A_{3} = 2.\pi.3r.3h$

$A_{3} = 18.\pi.r.h$

Comparing areas:

$\frac{A_{3}}{A_{1}}$ = $\frac{18.\pi.r.h}{2.\pi.r.h}$ = 9

Multiplying by 3, gives an area 9 times bigger.

<u>By factor 5</u>:

$A_{5} = 2.\pi.5r.5h$

$A_{5} = 50.\pi.r.h$

Comparing:

$\frac{A_{5}}{A_{1}}$ = $\frac{50.\pi.r.h}{2.\pi.r.h}$ = 25

The new area is 25 times greater.

B. By analysing how many times greater and the factor that the dimensions are multiplied, you can notice the increase in area is factor². For example, when multiplied by a factor of 2, the new area is 4 times greater.

Find the width w of a box with volume V = 120 cm3, l = 3 cm and h = 5 cm.

LenKa [72]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

the volume of a box is L x W x H

so if you take the length x height, you can divide the volume by that to get your width.

hope this helps!! :)
