Cone:
(i) A cone is produced when an inclined length AB = L revolves around z-axis which is taken along with OA, the axis of the cone.
The centroid GL of length L is at the mid height where, x¯L = a/2 as observed in Figure.
{Cone surface generated by the length AB about the axis OA }= L × ( x¯ L θ)
where, θ = 2 π
x L = a/ 2
∴ Cone surface = L × (a/2) × 2 π
∴ = π a L
(ii) Solid volume of cone is obtained when plane area AOB is revolved about axis OA. The centroid GA of the plane area ABO is at
Volume of cone = Area ( AOB) × x¯A θ
= (Ha/2) × (a /3)× 2 π = π a2 H/3
