Volume of frustum and hemisphere


The volume of a frustum of a cone of height h is given by the 
V= 1/3*pi*h (R^2 +Rr +r^2),
Where R and r are the radii of its circular ends.
Hollow metal hemispheres of internal and external diameters 12.5cm and 17.5cm, respectively, are to be cast from the molten contents of a ladle in the shape of a frustum of a cone of depth 1.2 metres and radii of ends 0.6m and 0.675m. Calculate the number of hemispheres that can be cast.

How to find the nth term an Arithmetic progression

Question   Find the number of terms in an Ap given that its first and last terms are a and 37a respectively and that its common difference is 4a. Solution nth term of AP Tn = a +(n-1)d From the question First term a = a Last term Tn = 37a Common difference d = 4a Number of terms n =? Substitute a, Tn and d into the nth term formula Tn = a +(n-1)d 37a = a +(n-1)4a Collect like terms 37a-a = (n-1)4a 36a = (n-1)4a Divide through by 4a 36a/4a = (n-1)4a/4a 9 = n-1 make n subject formula n = 9+1 n = 10 The AP as 10 terms
