Ladle Design

by Gary Pierce

Submitted : Spring 2009

In this project Gary is asked to design a ladle with varying thickness due to different pressures around the ladle due to volume changed above the ladle. Multiple calculus methods and laws are used to find tau of the ladle at every points with respect to a 'y' value. With tau known with respects to y it is possible find the total volume of the ladle. Finally, methods allow the weight of the ladle to be calculated.
