Hi,
Matt S. has left the following comment at Implement a primitive volume
function ... for hyperboloids of one sheet (HYP)
http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2012/7987216:
There probably is an easier way
But I don't think it's what you've suggested. Maybe it is though. Let's
investigate, shall we?
You're saying that youor volume element is:
dV = A(z)dz
=\pi * r1(z) * r2(z) * dz
where r1(z) and r2(z) are the major and minor axes of the ellipse,
determined via
(x^2 / a^2) + (y^2 / b^2) - (z^2/c^2) = 1
and your'e saying this leads to your provided formula for V? Please do show
me how--I'm not saying you're incorrect, I'm saying I don't have time this
minute to work through the computations right now. And I won't have the
time in the next while either...
Cheers!
