Solution

The document contains a series of problems related to the geometry and calculus of a martini glass and a ball submerged in it. I will break down the key questions and provide detailed steps and explanations for solving them.

Problem Overview

The problem involves a right-circular cone (the martini glass) and a ball being submerged in it. We want to determine the radius RR of the ball that causes the maximum volume of liquid to overflow from the glass.

Question 1: Geometry of the Glass

1.1 Coordinates of Points A and B

  • Point O is the bottom of the glass.
  • Point A is at the rim, and Point B is at the height hh of the glass.

Using trigonometry:

  • Coordinate of Point A: (htan(θ),h)(h \tan(\theta), h)
  • Coordinate of Point B: (0,h)(0, h)

Distances:

  • AB=hsec(θ)|AB| = h \sec(\theta)
  • OB=h|OB| = h

1.2 Geometry of Cases (i) and (ii)

  • Case (i): Ball fully submerged.
  • Case (ii): Ball partially submerged, not resting on the rim.

For the coordinates:

  • Point C (Center of Ball): (htan(θ)R,hR)(h \tan(\theta) - R, h - R)
  • Point E (Top of Ball): (htan(θ)R,hR+R)(h \tan(\theta) - R, h - R + R) = (htan(θ)R,h)(h \tan(\theta) - R, h)
  • Point F (Bottom of Ball): (htan(θ)R,hRR)(h \tan(\theta) - R, h - R - R) = (htan(θ)R,h2R)(h \tan(\theta) - R, h - 2R)

Distance OD|OD|: Using right triangle properties, OD|OD| can be calculated similarly.

1.3 Geometry of Case (iii)

In this case, the ball is resting on the rim:

  • Point C (Center of Ball) remains the same.
  • Point F (Bottom of Ball): Position changes based on ball resting on the rim.

Question 2: Displaced Volume of Liquid

2.1 Displaced Liquid, Case (i)

The volume of the liquid displaced when the ball is fully submerged: V(i)(R)=43πR3V(i)(R) = \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3

2.2 Volume of a Spherical Dome

The volume of a spherical dome (spherical cap) of height HH: Vdome=πH2(3RH)3V_{\text{dome}} = \frac{\pi H^2(3R - H)}{3}

2.3 Displaced Liquid, Case (ii)

For R1<R<R2R_1 < R < R_2: V(ii)(R)=πR33(2+3sin(θ))V(ii)(R) = \frac{\pi R^3}{3}(2 + 3\sin(\theta))

2.4 Displaced Liquid, Case (iii)

For RR2R \geq R_2: V(iii)(R)=π3[RR2h2+higher order terms]V(iii)(R) = \frac{\pi}{3} \left[ R\sqrt{R^2 - h^2} + \text{higher order terms} \right]

Finding the Maximum Displaced Volume

To find the radius RR that maximizes the volume of liquid displaced:

  1. Differentiate the volume function V(R)V(R) for each case.
  2. Set the derivative to zero to find critical points.
  3. Analyze intervals to determine where the function is increasing or decreasing.

Conclusion

For each question, use the appropriate geometric and calculus principles to derive the necessary equations and conditions for the radius RR that maximizes the displaced liquid volume.

Next Steps

  1. Do you need detailed calculations for any specific part?
  2. Would you like help with visualizing these geometric figures?
  3. Should I provide a summary of how to implement this in Python for graphing?
  4. Are there specific assumptions or constraints you'd like to consider?
  5. Would you like me to clarify any of the mathematical concepts used?

Tip: Always sketch the geometric configuration to better understand the relationships between the different elements in the problem.
