Cylinder
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
For other uses, see Cylinder (disambiguation).
An empty tin can
A cylinder (from Greek κύλινδρος – kulindros, "roller, tumbler"[1]), 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. In this article both points of view are presented and distinguished by referring to solid cylinders and cylindrical surfaces, but keep in mind that in the literature the unadorned term cylinder could refer to either of these or to an even more specialized object, the right circular cylinder.

Solid cylinders[edit]
The definitions and results in this section are taken from the 1913 text, Plane and Solid Geometry by George Wentworth and David Eugene Smith (Wentworth & Smith 1913).
A cylindrical surface is a surface consisting of all the points on all the lines which are parallel to a given line and which pass through a fixed plane curve in a plane not parallel to the given line. Any line in this family of parallel lines is called an element of the cylindrical surface. From a kinematics point of view, given a plane curve, called the directrix, a cylindrical surface is that surface traced out by a line, called the generatrix, not in the plane of the directrix, moving parallel to itself and always passing through the directrix. Any particular position of the generatrix is an element of the cylindrical surface.
A right and an oblique circular cylinder
A solid bounded by a cylindrical surface and two parallel planes is called a (solid) cylinder. The line segments determined by an element of the cylindrical surface between the two parallel planes is called an element of the cylinder. All the elements of a cylinder have equal lengths. The region bounded by the cylindrical surface in either of the parallel planes is called a base of the cylinder. The two bases of a cylinder are congruent figures. If the elements of the cylinder are perpendicular to the planes containing the bases, the cylinder is a right cylinder, otherwise it is called an oblique cylinder. If the bases are disks (regions whose boundary is a circle) the cylinder is called a circular cylinder. In some elementary treatments, a cylinder always means a circular cylinder.[2]
The height (or altitude) of a cylinder is the perpendicular distance between its bases.
The cylinder obtained by rotating a line segment about a fixed line that it is parallel to is a cylinder of revolution. A cylinder of revolution is a right circular cylinder. The height of a cylinder of revolution is the length of the generating line segment. The line that the segment is revolved about is called the axis of the cylinder and it passes through the centers of the two bases.
A right circular cylinder with radius r and height h
Right circular cylinders[edit]
The unmodified term cylinder often refers to a solid cylinder with circular ends perpendicular to the axis, that is, a right circular cylinder, as shown in the figure. If the ends are missing, it is called an open cylinder. The formulae for the surface area and the volume of a right circular cylinder have been known from early antiquity.
A right circular cylinder can also be thought of as the solid of revolution generated by rotating a rectangle about one of its sides. These cylinders are used in an integration technique (the "disk method") for obtaining volumes of solids of revolution.[3]
Cylindric sections[edit]
Cylindric section
A cylindric section is the intersection of a cylinder's surface with a plane. They are, in general, curves and are special types of plane sections. The cylindric section by a plane that contains two elements of a cylinder is a parallelogram.[4] Such a cylindric section of a right cylinder is a rectangle.[4]
A cylindric section in which the intersecting plane intersects and is perpendicular to all the elements of the cylinder is called a right section.[5] If a right section of a cylinder is a circle then the cylinder is a circular cylinder. In more generality, if a right section of a cylinder is a conic section (parabola, ellipse, hyperbola) then the solid cylinder is said to be parabolic, elliptic or hyperbolic respectively.
Cylindric sections of a right circular cylinder
For a right circular cylinder, there are several ways in which planes can meet a cylinder. First, consider planes that intersect a base in at most one point. A plane is tangent to the cylinder if it meets the cylinder in a single element. The right sections are circles and all other planes intersect the cylindrical surface in an ellipse.[6] If a plane intersects a base of the cylinder in exactly two points then the line segment joining these points is part of the cylindric section. If such a plane contains two elements, it has a rectangle as a cylindric section, otherwise the sides of the cylindric section are portions of an ellipse. Finally, if a plane contains more than two points of a base, it contains the entire base and the cylindric section is a circle.
In the case of a right circular cylinder with a cylindric section that is an ellipse, the eccentricity e of the cylindric section and semi-major axis a of the cylindric section depend on the radius of the cylinder r and the angle α between the secant plane and cylinder axis, in the following way:
e = cos  α , {\displaystyle e=\cos \alpha ,}
a = r sin  α . {\displaystyle a={\frac {r}{\sin \alpha }}.}
Volume[edit]
If the base of a circular cylinder has a radius r and the cylinder has height h, then its volume is given by
V = πr2h.
This formula holds whether or not the cylinder is a right cylinder.[7]
This formula may be established by using Cavalieri's principle.
A solid elliptic cylinder with the semi-axes a and b for the base ellipse and height h
In more generality, by the same principle, the volume of any cylinder is the product of the area of a base and the height. For example, an elliptic cylinder with a base having semi-major axis a, semi-minor axis b and height h has a volume V = Ah, where A is the area of the base ellipse (= πab). This result for right elliptic cylinders can also be obtained by integration, where the axis of the cylinder is taken as the positive x-axis and A(x) = A the area of each elliptic cross-section, thus:
V = ∫ 0 h A ( x ) d x = ∫ 0 h π a b d x = π a b ∫ 0 h d x = π a b h . {\displaystyle V=\int _{0}^{h}A(x)dx=\int _{0}^{h}\pi abdx=\pi ab\int _{0}^{h}dx=\pi abh.}
Using cylindrical coordinates, the volume of a right circular cylinder can be calculated by integration over
= ∫ 0 h ∫ 0 2 π ∫ 0 r s d s d ϕ d z {\displaystyle =\int _{0}^{h}\int _{0}^{2\pi }\int _{0}^{r}s\,\,ds\,d\phi \,dz}
= π r 2 h . {\displaystyle =\pi \,r^{2}\,h.}
Surface area[edit]
Having radius r and altitude (height) h, the surface area of a right circular cylinder, oriented so that its axis is vertical, consists of three parts:
the area of the top base: πr2
the area of the bottom base: πr2
the area of the side: 2πrh
The area of the top and bottom bases is the same, and is called the base area, B. The area of the side is known as the lateral area, L.
An open cylinder does not include either top or bottom elements, and therefore has surface area (lateral area)
L = 2πrh.
The surface area of the solid right circular cylinder is made up the sum of all three components: top, bottom and side. Its surface area is therefore,
A = L+2B = 2πrh + 2πr2 = 2πr(h + r) = πd(r + h),
where d = 2r is the diameter of the circular top or bottom.
For a given volume, the right circular cylinder with the smallest surface area has h = 2r. Equivalently, for a given surface area, the right circular cylinder with the largest volume has h = 2r, that is, the cylinder fits snugly in a cube of side length = altitude ( = diameter of base circle).[8]
The lateral area, L, of a circular cylinder, which need not be a right cylinder, is more generally given by:
L = e × p,
where e is the length of an element and p is the perimeter of a right section of the cylinder.[9] This produces the previous formula for lateral area when the cylinder is a right circular cylinder.
Hollow cylinder
Right circular hollow cylinder (cylindrical shell)[edit]
A right circular hollow cylinder (or cylindrical shell) is a three-dimensional region bounded by two right circular cylinders having the same axis and two parallel annular bases perpendicular to the cylinders' common axis, as in the diagram.
Let the height be h, internal radius r, and external radius R. The volume is given by
V = π ( R 2 − r 2 ) h = 2 π ( R + r 2 ) h ( R − r ) . {\displaystyle V=\pi (R^{2}-r^{2})h=2\pi \left({\frac {R+r}{2}}\right)h(R-r).} .
Thus, the volume of a cylindrical shell equals 2π(average radius)(altitude)(thickness).[10]
The surface area, including the top and bottom, is given by
A = 2 π ( R + r ) h + 2 π ( R 2 − r 2 ) . {\displaystyle A=2\pi (R+r)h+2\pi (R^{2}-r^{2}).} .
Cylindrical shells are used in a common integration technique for finding volumes of solids of revolution.[11]
On the Sphere and Cylinder[edit]
A sphere has 2/3 the volume and surface area of its circumscribing cylinder including its bases
Main article: On the Sphere and Cylinder
In the treatise by this name, written c. 225 BCE, Archimedes obtained the result of which he was most proud, namely obtaining the formulas for the volume and surface area of a sphere by exploiting the relationship between a sphere and its circumscribed right circular cylinder of the same height and diameter. The sphere has a volume two-thirds that of the circumscribed cylinder and a surface area two-thirds that of the cylinder (including the bases). Since the values for the cylinder were already known, he obtained, for the first time, the corresponding values for the sphere. The volume of a sphere of radius r is 4/3πr3 = 2/3 (2πr3). The surface area of this sphere is 4πr2 = 2/3 (6πr2). A sculpted sphere and cylinder were placed on the tomb of Archimedes at his request.
Cylindrical surfaces[edit]
In some areas of geometry and topology the term cylinder refers to what we have called a cylindrical surface. To repeat, throughout this section a cylinder is defined as a surface consisting of all the points on all the lines which are parallel to a given line and which pass through a fixed plane curve in a plane not parallel to the given line.[12] Such cylinders have, at times, been referred to as generalized cylinders. Through each point of a generalized cylinder there passes a unique line that is contained in the cylinder.[13] Thus, this definition may be rephrased to say that a cylinder is any ruled surface spanned by a one-parameter family of parallel lines.
A cylinder having a right section that is an ellipse, parabola, or hyperbola is called an elliptic cylinder, parabolic cylinder or hyperbolic cylinder, respectively. These are degenerate quadric surfaces.[14]
Parabolic cylinder
The general equation of a quadric in three dimensions is given by
f ( x , y , z ) = A x 2 + B y 2 + C z 2 + D x + E y + G z + H = 0 , {\displaystyle f(x,y,z)=Ax^{2}+By^{2}+Cz^{2}+Dx+Ey+Gz+H=0,}
with the coefficients being real numbers and not all of A, B and C being 0. If at least one variable does not appear in the equation, then the quadric is degenerate. If one variable is missing, we may assume by an appropriate rotation of axes that the variable z does not appear and the general equation of this type of degenerate quadric can be written as[15]
A ( x + D 2 A ) 2 + B ( y + E 2 B ) 2 = ρ , {\displaystyle A\left(x+{\frac {D}{2A}}\right)^{2}+B\left(y+{\frac {E}{2B}}\right)^{2}=\rho ,}
where
ρ = − H + D 2 4 A + E 2 4 B . {\displaystyle \rho =-H+{\frac {D^{2}}{4A}}+{\frac {E^{2}}{4B}}.}
If AB > 0 this is the equation of an elliptic cylinder.[15] Further simplification can be obtained by translation of axes and scalar multiplication. If ρ {\displaystyle \rho } has the same sign as the coefficients A and B, then the equation of an elliptic cylinder may be rewritten in Cartesian coordinates as:
( x a ) 2 + ( y b ) 2 = 1. {\displaystyle \left({\frac {x}{a}}\right)^{2}+\left({\frac {y}{b}}\right)^{2}=1.}
This equation of an elliptic cylinder is a generalization of the equation of the ordinary, circular cylinder (a = b). Elliptic cylinders are also known as cylindroids, but that name is ambiguous, as it can also refer to the Plücker conoid.
If ρ {\displaystyle \rho } has a different sign than the coefficients, we obtain the imaginary elliptic cylinders:
( x a ) 2 + ( y b ) 2 = − 1 , {\displaystyle \left({\frac {x}{a}}\right)^{2}+\left({\frac {y}{b}}\right)^{2}=-1,}
which have no real points on them. ( ρ = 0 {\displaystyle \rho =0} gives a single real point.)
If A and B have different signs and ρ ≠ 0 {\displaystyle \rho \neq 0} , we obtain the hyperbolic cylinders, whose equations may be rewritten as:
( x a ) 2 − ( y b ) 2 = 1. {\displaystyle \left({\frac {x}{a}}\right)^{2}-\left({\frac {y}{b}}\right)^{2}=1.}
Finally, if AB = 0 assume, without loss of generality, that B = 0 and A = 1 to obtain the parabolic cylinders with equations that can be written as:[16]
x 2 + 2 a y = 0. {\displaystyle {x}^{2}+2a{y}=0.}
In projective geometry, a cylinder is simply a cone whose apex is at infinity, which corresponds visually to a cylinder in perspective appearing to be a cone towards the sky.
Projective geometry[edit]
In projective geometry, a cylinder is simply a cone whose apex (vertex) lies on the plane at infinity. If the cone is a quadratic cone, the plane at infinity passing through the vertex can intersect the cone at two real lines, a single real line (actually a coincident pair of lines), or only at the vertex. These cases give rise to the hyperbolic, parabolic or elliptic cylinders respectively.[17]
This concept is useful when considering degenerate conics, which may include the cylindrical conics.
Prisms[edit]
Tycho Brahe Planetarium building, Copenhagen, is an example of a truncated cylinder
A solid circular cylinder can be seen as the limiting case of a n-gonal prism where n approaches infinity. The connection is very strong and many older texts treat prisms and cylinders simultaneously. Formulas for surface area and volume are derived from the corresponding formulas for prisms by using inscribed and circumscribed prisms and then letting the number of sides of the prism increase without bound.[18] Indeed, one reason for the early emphasis (and sometimes exclusive treatment) on circular cylinders is that a circular base is the only type of geometric figure for which this technique works with the use of only elementary considerations (no appeal to calculus or more advanced mathematics). Terminology about prisms and cylinders is identical. Thus, for example, since a truncated prism is a prism whose bases do not lie in parallel planes, a solid cylinder whose bases do not lie in parallel planes would be called a truncated cylinder.
From a polyhedral viewpoint, a cylinder can also be seen as a dual of a bicone as an infinite-sided bipyramid.

"The Devil Went Down to Georgia" is a song written and performed by the Charlie Daniels Band and released on their 1979[1] album Million Mile Reflections.
The song is written in the key of D minor. Vassar Clements originally wrote the basic melody an octave lower,[citation needed] in a tune called "Lonesome Fiddle Blues" released on Clements' self-titled 1975 album on which Charlie Daniels played guitar. The Charlie Daniels Band moved it up an octave and put words to it. The song's verses are closer to being spoken rather than sung (i.e., recitation), and tell the story of a boy named Johnny, in a variant on the classic deal with the Devil. The performances of Satan and Johnny are played as instrumental bridges. The song was the band's biggest hit, reaching number three on the Billboard Hot 100.[2] It is featured in the 1980 film Urban Cowboy, whose choreographer, Patsy Swayze, claims that she set the song's tempo. "How fast can you dance it?" Daniels asked. "How fast can you play it?" Swayze replied, but considering that the song was recorded in December 1978 and Urban Cowboy was filmed in 1979, it would have been impossible for Swayze to set the recorded song's tempo.[3]

The song is an uptempo bluegrass song about the Devil's failed attempt to "steal" a young man's soul through a fiddle-playing contest that involved enticing the young man's participation using a worldly prize. The song begins with a disappointed Devil arriving in Georgia, having stolen far fewer souls than expected, when he comes upon a fiddle-playing young man named Johnny. At that moment, Johnny happens to be playing his fiddle impressively "hot." Out of desperation, the Devil, who as it turns out also plays the fiddle, offers Johnny the wager which involves challenging the young man to a fiddle-playing contest. The Devil offers to give Johnny a golden fiddle if the young man plays better than he does; otherwise, the Devil will gain Johnny's soul. Although Johnny believes taking the Devil's bet might be a sin, he wagers his soul without fear, confidently boasting he is "the best that's ever been."
The Devil plays his fiddle first, to a contemporary, rock music theme with the backing of demon musicians. When the Devil's performance ends, Johnny compliments him and takes his own turn, making reference to four songs. Two are traditional songs of Appalachia -- "Fire on the Mountain" (also the name of Daniels' 1974 album) and "Granny Does Your Dog Bite?" (the latter traditionally known as "Granny Will Your Dog Bite?"). The third is an unnamed square dance melody that includes the patter, "Chicken in the bread pan pickin' out dough." (The country music standard "Ida Red," as most famously recorded by Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys, includes the lyric "Chicken in the bread pan pickin' out dough / Granny will your dog bite, no child no."[4]) The last is a traditional American southern folk song "The House of the Rising Sun." The four songs are not performed but are only mentioned by reference. The Devil is impressed, admits defeat, and lays a golden fiddle at Johnny's feet. Johnny repeats his claim to be the best player ever and dares the Devil to a rematch in the future.
Johnny's final boast, as originally recorded for the Million Mile Reflections album, goes "I done told you once, you son of a bitch, I'm the best that's ever been." To accommodate radio airplay (both Country and Top 40 formats), the 45 RPM single release overdubbed that portion of the lyric as "'Cause I told you once, you son of a gun, I'm the best that's ever been." (The uncensored album version appears on the soundtrack of the movie Urban Cowboy,[5] and it is this version that has been used on numerous music compilations since then.) Thus, Johnny maintains his virtue, keeping his soul from the Devil by displaying his musical virtuosity in performing traditional songs of America's South.
Musical references[edit]
The ballad's story is a derivative of the traditional deal with the Devil motif. Charlie Daniels has stated in interviews, "I don't know where it came from, but it just did. Well, I think I might know where it came from, it may have come from an old poem called 'The Mountain Whippoorwill' that Stephen Vincent Benét wrote many, many years ago (1925), that I had in high school."[6]
Parodies and covers[edit]
This article needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (August 2016) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The Muppets performed a version of the song in The Muppet Show with special guest star Alan Arkin in 1980.
The Levellers released a version of the song in 1991.[7]
Although it is frequently misattributed to David Allan Coe or "Weird Al" Yankovic, musician Travis Meyer performed a parody entitled "The Devil Went Down to Jamaica," in which Johnny is recast as a Jamaican drug dealer who is challenged by the devil to a pot-smoking contest to see whose marijuana is best: his, or Johnny's.[8]
It is parodied by Cledus T. Judd as "Cledus Went Down to Florida," by a Christian parody group called ApologetiX as "The Devil Went Down to Jordan," and as "Devil Went to Jamaica" by Travis Meyer (the song is frequently misattributed to Weird Al Yankovic, and David Allan Coe has also been cited as the performer.)
Mexican country band Caballo Dorado recorded a Spanish version called "El diablo bajó a Georgia" on their album debut "Carretera 54".
The rap group K.M.C. Kru released a hip hop re-imagining of the song entitled "The Devil Came Up to Michigan" in 1991, featuring the devil and a deejay competing for a turntable of gold.[9]
Rock/metal band Primus recorded a version of the song, which was released as a claymation music video on their 1998 Rhinoplasty EP and its companion Videoplasty video album, and also re-released on their 2003 EP Animals Should Not Try to Act Like People.[10] The video was directed by Mike Johnson.
Steve Ouimette (with Ed DeGenaro) performed a cover of the song for the 2007 video game Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. This version uses electric guitars instead of fiddles, though the original lyrics are still performed. It is played as the conclusion of the game in a simulated guitar battle with the devil. Daniels objected to this version on the grounds that the devil often wins the contest, which he referred to as "violating the very essence of the song".[11]
Boston-based alternative band the Adam Ezra Group released a parody of the song in 2013 called The Devil Came Up To Boston. It depicted the devil as a New Yorker who comes to Boston to have a fiddle-playing battle with a Bostonian youth. This premise itself is a play on the rivalry between Boston and New York. It parodies many other stereotypes and facets of Boston and its culture, such as its distinctive dialect, its Irish heritage, and its notoriously loud subway system, among other things. The song became a bit of a local legend in the Boston area, as many radio stations desired to play it, but couldn't because of its extensive use of profanity, itself another stereotype of Bostonians.

Pop singer and electric violinist Michelle Lambert recorded a version of the song in 2015, and released a music video. In her rendition "Johnny" is replaced by "Michelle".[12]
A cappella group Home Free recorded a version of the song in collaboration with Taylor Davis and Charlie Daniels playing fiddle, released in September 2015. The narration is performed by Home Free bass singer Tim Foust.[13]
The rock band Blues Traveler often performs this song in concert, with John Popper playing the fiddle parts on harmonica.[14] The band released a live version of the song on their 2006 EP ¡Bastardos en Vivo!.
Electric string quartet Stringfever recorded a cover of the song on their 2009 album Stringfever.
Futurama featured a parody of the song in Episode 9 of Season 1.
Robot Chicken featured a composite parody of the song along with the animated series Spawn in Episode 49 of Season 3, where Malebolgia, an infernal lord, is challenged by Spawn to a fiddle duel set to a similar tune.[15]
Chart performance[edit]
The original version of the song spent fourteen weeks on the Hot Country Singles charts in 1979, peaking at number 1 and holding the position for one week. It spent two weeks at a peak of number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100.[16] The single was certified Platinum by the RIAA on December 20, 1989 for sales of over one million copies in the United States.[17]
Since it became available as a download in the digital era, it has also sold 2.297 million digital copies in the US as of November 2016.[18]
In June 1998, Epic Records re-released the song to country radio, but accidentally sent out the version in which the line "son of a bitch" was uncensored. This error was quickly corrected, and the song re-entered the country charts at number 62 for the chart dated June 20, 1998.[5] It spent seven weeks on the chart and peaked at number 60.[16]

Sequel [edit]
In 1993, a sequel to the song, titled "The Devil Comes Back to Georgia", was recorded and released by Daniels and fiddle player Mark O'Connor, featuring guest performances by Travis Tritt (as the devil), Marty Stuart (as Johnny) and Johnny Cash as the narrator. The song can be found on Mark O'Connor's album, Heroes.
In the sequel, the devil, his anger unabated ten years after his defeat at young Johnny's hands, decides to take up the boy's challenge to "c'mon back if you ever wanna try again". With Johnny now an adult and married with an infant son, the devil is convinced that Johnny's sinful pride will be his undoing, so he takes back the golden fiddle he lost to Johnny, and forces him to practice with his old fiddle before their rematch.
Though the lyrics of the song state that "Johnny's the best that's ever been", reiterating his bold claim in the original song, the sequel's lyrics do not reveal who won the rematch, but the music video persuasively shows that Johnny does not lose.
