Title: The formula to calculate the volume
Post by: Mesozoic Mister Nigel on November 28, 2007, 07:48:59 AM
of a Sno-Cone:
1/3 π r^2 (2r + h)

Wait, does that even work?

so, did you solve the revolution integral of a linear function, or how did you come up with it?

cause if you'd replace it with a nonlinear function, you could pretty much calculate the volume of any shape buttplug.

Darkstar watches as that last post zoomed over his head.  Why can't people say, 1+1 = 2 anymore?

Did you take into account the half-dome of sno-cone that rises over the base of the cone?

FUCK YOU FRED MY YUCCA DIED BECAUSE NO ONE CARES!

at least, i didn't.

also, thanks to the forces of sheer coincidence, my Yucca was called Fred (Freddy, actually). true story.

cassave?

i like cassave crackers.

i bought a cassave root once (sometimes my supermarket has weird vegetables. i usually jump at the chance). apparently you need to grind it up so it turns into some sort of starch flour stuff. i tried to make cookies of it. didn't really work.

Yeah, cassava.  Our guide in Peru called itYuca.  We boiled them up and had them for breakfast.  Very nice, the flavour and ease of cooking.

boiled?

hmmmmm, so i assume you grate off the sticky brown bark, saw it into pieces and boil it? how long, approximately?

the cassava i bought was *very* hard on the inside, hence i just grinded it to some paste.

About half an hour, or when its soft, whichever happens first.  And remove the centre, its fibre anyway.

I do not even understand this post. Keep in mind that as a budding math student I am still in the stage where it is exciting to me to be able to calculate the volume of a cone and a hemisphere.

Yeah, it started out as V= 1/3 π r^2 h + 2/3 π r^3 but someone pointed out to me that it could be simplified to V= 1/3 π r^2 (2r + h) but frankly I am not sure it's any simpler, or that it's any good, because by treating the cone + hemisphere as one object would you lose the implicit directions for measuring h which are obvious when considering the cone separately?

The balance would be more in your favor if it was a Drumstick instead of a Sno-Cone.

Drumsticks are entirely conical, bringing us back to V= 1/3 π r^2 h! Which is the most beautiful equation. :Cone:

In The FutureTM we're all going to be totally obsessed with cones.

Do you need anything at the store?
Sure, pick me up a cone of water.

Where did you leave the keys?
They're on top of the cone.

Dude this basketball is so old fashioned I wish it was more conical
Yes the present is so much better since we replaced nearly everything with cones
