A cylindrical end of a pencil is sharpened to produce a perfect cone at the end with no overall loss of length.
\n" ); document.write( " If the diameter of the pencil is 1cm, and the cone is of length 2cm, calculate the volume of the shavings.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "radius of the pencil = .5cm
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "the vol of cylinder is \"pi%2Ar%5E2%2Ah\"
\n" ); document.write( " and
\n" ); document.write( "the vol of a cone is: \"%281%2F3%29%2Api%2Ar%5E2%2Ah\"
\n" ); document.write( "therefore
\n" ); document.write( "the vol of the shavings: \"%282%2F3%29%2Api%2Ar%5E2%2Ah\"
\n" ); document.write( "v = \"%282%2F3%29%2Api%2A.5%5E2%2A2\"
\n" ); document.write( "v = \"%282%2F3%29%2Api%2A.25%2A2\"
\n" ); document.write( "v = \"%282%2F3%29%2A1.5708\"
\n" ); document.write( "v = 1.047 cu/cm
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
