Volume
The volume V is the quantity of a three-dimensional space enclosed by a closed surface.
Example 1
The formula for the volume of Torricelli's trumpet is
and because a→∞, it applies
⇒ V = π
Example 2
In physics, density is defined as the quotient of mass divided by volume
where
m Mass V Volume
HistoryThe ancient Greek Archimedes (287 - 212 BC) discovered a method of measuring a volume. |
