Concept explainers
To compare:
The weight of the larger and smaller piece of a right circular cone.
Answer to Problem 12A
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Height
Base diameter of smaller piece
Base diameter of larger piece
Concept used:
The volume of a right circular cone is
Where, h = height, and AB = Base area.
Calculation:
The base area is
Now, the base area of smaller cone is
Now, the base area of larger cone is
Thus, volume of smaller cone is
And, the volume of larger cone is
Conclusion:
Hence, volume of cone of larger diameter is 4 times heavier than the cone of smaller diameter.
