[h=2]Tilted Cylinder[/h] A cylindrical glass of radius r and height L is filled with water and then tilted until the water remaining in the glass exactly covers its base.
(b) Find the volume of water in the glass from purely geometric considerations.
I don't really know how to start on this problem, could someone help me out?
And What does it exactly mean by "purely geometric considerations"?
(a) Determine a way to "slice" the water into parallel rectangular cross-sections and then set up a definite integral for the volume of the water in the glass. Find the volume.
