What is Hollow cylinder: Definition and 62 Discussions
A cylinder (from Greek κύλινδρος – kulindros, "roller", "tumbler") has traditionally been a three-dimensional solid, one of the most basic of curvilinear geometric shapes. It is the idealized version of a solid physical tin can having lids on top and bottom.
This traditional view is still used in elementary treatments of geometry, but the advanced mathematical viewpoint has shifted to the infinite curvilinear surface and this is how a cylinder is now defined in various modern branches of geometry and topology.
The shift in the basic meaning (solid versus surface) has created some ambiguity with terminology. It is generally hoped that context makes the meaning clear. Both points of view are typically presented and distinguished by referring to solid cylinders and cylindrical surfaces, but in the literature the unadorned term cylinder could refer to either of these or to an even more specialized object, the right circular cylinder.
OK I have no idea how to work this out. I've googled bending radius but it doesn't really help a great deal.
It's the 2nd part of the last question:

Using cylindrical coordinates rho,phi, and z, let u([rho,phi) denote steady temperatures in a long hollow cylinder a leq rho leq b, -infinity < z < infinity when the temperatures on the inner surface rho= a are f(phi) and the temperature of the outer surface rho = b is zero...
Hello,
Does anyone know of (or have a link to) an equation for the electric field at any point inside a a hollow cylinder shell of finite length?
thanks,

Consider a hollow cylinder rolling down an inclined plane, without slipping. I know that the rolling friction does no work on the point which is in contact with the cylinder, since that point must be at rest since we have rolling without slipping, but isn't the ENTIRE BODY still moving, so the...
Im trying to solve Helmholtz equation
\nabla ^2u(r,\phi,z) + k^2u(r,\phi,z) = 0
in a hollow cylinder with length L and a < r < b
and the boundary conditions:
u(a,\phi,z) = F(\phi,z)
u(b,\phi,z) = G(\phi,z)
u(r,\phi,0) = P(\phi,z)
u(r,\phi,L) = Q(\phi,z)...
I need help finding the moment of inertia for a hollow cylinder with a closed bottom (like a glass of water). My strategy is to add the moments of inertia of the cylinder and the disk but I only have the total mass of the whole object. Is there a way to find the mass of each part or is there...
