⚡ Mecademy AIENG정역학 · ch5  Problem Statement The water storage tank is a shell of revolution and is to be sprayed with two coats of paint which has a coverage of per gallon. The engineer (who remembers mechanics) consults a scale drawing of the tank and determines that the curved line has a length of and that its centroid is from the centerline of the tank. How many gallons of paint will be used for the tank including the vertical cylindrical column? Problem 5/72 (a) Calculation of the total amount of paint required 1. Formula: The total surface area of the tank is the sum of the surface area of the main shell and the lateral surface area of the cylindrical column . According to the first theorem of Pappus-Guldinus, the area of a surface of revolution is: The lateral area of a cylinder is: The total volume of paint needed for two coats is: 2. Substitution: For the main shell (): , , radians. For the column: , . Coverage: . 3.
