Summary
The solids of revolution are generated by the rotation of a plane figure around a
straight line. In particular:

The cylinder is generated by the complete rotation of a rectangle around
one of its sides;

The cone is generated by the complete rotation of a right triangle around
one of its catheti;

The sphere is generated by the complete rotation of a half-circle around its
diameter;

The torus is generated by rotating a circle around an external coplanar
straight line.
Pappus-Guldin's theorems make it possible to determine the surface area
and volume of solids of revolution. The first theorem states that:
The measure of the area of the surface generated by the rotation of an arc of a
curve around an axis, is equal to the product between the length l of the arc and
the measure of the circumference described by its geometric centroid: S=2 π dl
Thus, for the cylinder and cone the following lateral surfaces are obtained
respectively:
Scone = π r √( h2+ r2)
Scyl = 2 π r h.
For the sphere and torus the total areas are: Storus=4 π2rR
Ssphere=4 π r2.
The second theorem states that:
The volume of a solid of revolution generated by rotating a plane figure F
around an external axis is equal to the product of the area A of F and the
length of the circumference of radius d equal to the distance between the axis
and the geometric centroid: V = 2 π d A
The following formulas are thus obtained:
Vcone=(π r2h)/3
Vcyl = π r2h
Vtorus = 2π2r2R
Vsphere = 4πr3/3
Archimedes' "On the Sphere and Cylinder" contains significant results achieved
by the mathematician of Syracuse on the solid rotation, as, for example:

The surface area of the sphere is equivalent to the surface area of the
cylinder that is circumscribed it

The volume of the sphere is equivalent to 2/3 of the cylinder’s volume that
is circumscribed it
16
solid of revolution

The volume of the cylinder having radius r and height 2r is the sum of the
volume of the sphere having radius r and the one of the cone having base
radius r and height 2r
Using Cavalieri's principle it can be shown that:
The volume of Galileo’s bowl is equivalent to the volume of the cone inscribed in
the same cylinder, as the cylinder volume is given by the sum of the total
volume of the half-sphere and the bowl, the volume of the half-sphere is given
by the difference between the volume of the cylinder and the volume of the
cone.
The sphere volume is equivalent to that of the anti-clepsydra.

in a written or oral form, depending on the teacher’s objectives.
a.

b.
What is the difference between a solid and solid surface?
c.

d.

e.
What is the relationship between the surface of the cylinder and that of a
sphere?
f.
What is the relationship between the volume of the cylinder and that of a
sphere?
g.
Illustrate the first theorem of Pappus-Guldin.
h.
Illustrate the second theorem of Pappus-Guldin.
2) Write a short abstract of the summary (max 150 words) highlighting
the main points of the video.

Activities Based on Problem Solving
a) A sphere whose surface is 100 π cm2 is cut by a plane far from the center of
the 3 / 5 of its radius. Determine the relationship between the lateral areas
of the two cones having the circle as common base for the top section and as
vertices the extremes of the diameter perpendicular to the secant plane.
b) The base radius of a right cylinder is 6 cm and height is 9 cm. Determine a
point on the axis V such that the ratio of 4 volumes of two cones having as
bases the bases of the cylinder, and as vertex the point V.
c) In a right circular cylinder the lateral surface is equivalent to 4 / 7 of the
total. Knowing that the total height of the cylinder is 12 cm determine the
volume of the sphere which has radius congruent to half the radius of the
cylinder base.
d) In the Discourses and Mathematical Demonstrations Concerning Two New
Sciences, Galileo Galilei describes the construction of a solid that is
called a bowl considering a hemisphere of radius r and the cylinder
circumscribed on it. The bowl is achieved by removing the hemisphere
from the cylinder. Prove, using
Cavalieri’s principle, that the
bowl has volume equal to the cone inscribed in the cylinder.
