Problems Plus 13: Volume of an Infinite String of Beads
In this video I determine the volume of an infinite string of beads formed by rotating an exponential and trigonometric function about the x-axis. The presence of the sine trig function means that the resulting 3D solid shape has nodes with a value of 0, hence forms what appears to be beads on a string. I first use the formula for disks to determine the volume of one bead, and then use an online integral calculator to solve the resulting volume integral. To calculate the total volume of the infinite number of beads, I do so using 2 methods. The first is simply expanding out the series and realizing it has a telescoping sum, which obtains our answer. The second method involves rewriting the volume of the n-th bead in the form of a Geometric Series, and I show that it is convergent and hence we can plug in our geometric series sum formula to obtain the total volume. I also play around with the amazing GeoGebra graphing calculator and discuss how to graph in 3D using the formula of a circle and our given function as the radius. Epic stuff!
