⚡ Mecademy AIENG정역학 · ch5 Problem Statement Calculate the volume of the complete ring of cross section shown. The cross section is symmetric about a horizontal centerline and has a total height of and a radial width of . The inner vertical surface of the ring is at a distance of from the axis of revolution (-axis). The outer corners of the cross section are removed with circular cutouts, each having a radius of . Problem 5/70 (a) Volume of the complete ring 1. Formula: The volume of a solid of revolution can be determined using the second theorem of Pappus-Guldinus: where is the area of a component part of the cross section and is the distance from the axis of revolution to the centroid of that component area. 2. Substitution: We decompose the cross-hatched area into a base rectangle and two quarter-circular corners to be subtracted. Base Rectangle: The rectangle has a width and height . Its inner edge is at . The centroidal radius is at the midpoint of the width: Quarter-circular Cutouts (Two identical): Each cutout has a radius . The cutouts are removed from the outer corners at .
