I LOVE THE DREAM SMP!
There are many ways to look at this problem. Three good ways would be:
The formula for frustum volume, given bottom radius , top radius and height , is Therefore we can plug in to find the volume (must be converted to Liters):
Extending the cone by imagination and using similarity, we get the pic below:
Let the height of the increased cone be . By similarity, we get . Solve this to get .
So the volume of the frustum is the volume of the larger cone minus the volume of the smaller cone (the formula for cone volume is where stands for bottom radius and stands for height):
This is mentioned in a book I read which finds volumes of 3D-shapes created by rotating the shape bounded by functions and in region :
The absolute value brackets are there to make sure is positive. THIS WORKS ONLY IF THE ROTATED BOUND IS ON THE SAME SIDE OF THE Y-AXIS.
Why is it called Baumkuchen?
It is because Baumkuchen is ‘log-like dessert’ in German, and the integral is like one!
Baumkuchen has log-like stripes
Explanation:
We can split the integral into rings formed by the original bound split and rotated around the y-axis individually.
Here I made a little mistake when labelling :P should be replaced with :)
For simplicity, here I let . Of course this can be generalised to other functions as well, given above.
If we cut a single ‘ring’ open, we get its volume by seeing it as a cuboid:
I forgot the absolute value brackets :P
Enlarge to see clearer :)
Here the volume of the cuboid is because and the term is therefore neglected. Summing infinite cuboids gives
So we can see the frustum as a cone chopped off from another as in example 2.
This way, the volume of the big cone is the integral with , and .
Plug in these to get
Similarly we can apply the same to the small cone to get .
Convert to liters: .

Oh uhh yeaaah :)
U know what I’m actually making a calculus note to help unsubscribed users like me :)
Everything awesome in brilliant is here :)

I'm already subbed know! :D
Great job !
顺便说一句,因为我年纪大了,所以您可以问我任何与科学或Python(或心理学)有关的问题。我很乐意为您提供帮助:) Hope it made some sense :P

Zakir Husain, he sometimes needs help with solving stuff with programs :)
Besides you might like to know sirLog in to reply
You know what?
1. I joined brilliant one year ago, when I lacked at calculus :P (Besides brilliant doesn’t allow me to chose 12-year-old! I changed it back on my birthday)
2. You’re the only one to realise my age
3. I am the youngest brilliant user known for the time being
4. I feel like Sheldon

1.Haha what a fun story ,the best part was u telling that u were not so good in calculus at the time when I didn't even know what the heck it is XP.
2.Are u serious?I mean it's mentioned in almost all the ques posted by u¯\(ツ)/¯.
3.I didn't wanna say it but.....
Aww
.4. Haha ,weird flex but okay.. [face-palm emoji] ᕙ( • ‿ • )ᕗ
