Cut a given sphere by a plane |
2007-03-14 |
|
Rory pose la question :
Cut a given sphere by a plane so that the volumes of the two segments formed shall be in a given ratio.
Show that in modern notation, this leads to the cubic equation
m(r+x)^2(2r-x)=n(r-x)^2(2r+x)
where r is the radius of the sphere, x is the distance of the cutting plane from the centre of the sphere, and m/n < 1 is the given ratio.
Can you help me show the solution to this question. Thank you.
