For Both Spheroids.

From the fum or difference of 1 and of q, according as it is for the oblate or oblong fpheroid, take of the fquare of q, and call of the re's mainder c.*

Farther, by tranfpofing the first three terms of the original feries, and reducing the refult, to make the first term of it equal

Then from A fubtract the fum of в and c, multiply the remainder by P, and 27 of the product will be the furface of the fpheroid, ftill nearer.

PROBLEM X.

To find the Curve Surface of the Fruftum of a Spheroid, contained between two Planes cutting the Spheroid Perpendicular to the Fixed Axe, and one of them paffing through the Center.

EXAMPLE I.

What is the furface of the fruftum of a fpheroid, whofe height is 15; the diameter of the greater end being 40, and that of the lefs 32?

Here co= 40

and

the revolving axe, 2 AB = 32, and HB = CA = 15; hence CH = CC— AB = 4, HOCC + AB = 36; and confequently, by cafe 3

prob. 2, we have as

✓CH X HO= 12; HB = 15 :: co= 40: TR = 50 the fixed axe; which fhews that the fruftum is that of an oblong fpheroid.

Then, as in the example to rule 1 of the last problem, ƒ= 50, r = 40, 9=23=36. But h=15, 4 × 9 × 15 × 15 = 1296.

the fum of the negative terms is -0*0220407, which taken from the firft term

EXAMPLE II.

It is required to find the curve furface of the fruftum 2CABC of a fpheroid, whofe height is 16; the diameter of the greater end being 50, and that of the lefs 30.

CA 10,

Here the revolving axe TR 50, CH AB 16, and HB CA 15; hence AR = CR and TA = TC +CA 40; then, by case 3 prob. 2, we shall have as

AR X AT 20: AB = 16 :: TR≈ 50: co = 40 the fixed axe; which indicates the fruftum to be that of an oblate fpheroid.
