Torus Limit

Calculus Level 5

Consider all curves f m ( x , y ) f_{m}\left(x,y\right) of the form x 2 + ( y m ) 2 = m 2 x^2+(y-m)^2=m^2 for m R m\in\mathbb{R} , and define the following:

  • Let V n V_n denote the average value from m = n m=-n to m = n m=n of the volume when f m ( x , y ) f_{m}\left(x,y\right) is rotated about the x x -axis.
  • Let S n S_n denote the average value from m = n m=-n to m = n m=n of the surface area when f m ( x , y ) f_{m}\left(x,y\right) is rotated about the x x -axis.

Evaluate lim n V n n S n \lim\limits_{n\to\infty}\dfrac{V_n}{nS_n} .


The answer is 0.375.
