SIMPLIFICATION OF ENGINEERING CALCULATIONS FOR ROTATIONAL BODIES USING PAPPUS-GULDINUS THEOREMS
Keywords:
Pappus-Guldinus theorems, rotational bodies, center of mass, multiple integrals, engineering calculations, torus volume, surface area.Abstract
In this article, the applications of the Pappus-Guldinus theorems in simplifying the calculations of surface areas and volumes of rotational bodies are investigated. Traditional methods using multiple integrals are compared with the elegant geometric approach provided by these theorems. To demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of these theorems in modern engineering and applied mechanics, several practical problems - including the parameters of a torus, a right cone, and a sphere - are presented with step-by-step solutions.
