Calculating Volume of Conical Section by Walter Kent Richeson in 1978

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Walter Kent Richeson developed calculation for measuring section of a poured cone-shaped pile of material in 1978 after not able to find a method elsewhere.
Date
Source I scanned it after my father gave it to me.
Author Walter Kent Richeson was a chemical engineer for Shell Oil for decades. He asked me to record his drawings he drew from calculations he developed in 1978 on Wikipedia somewhere so they would not be lost. He wants them shared freely.

Was ultimately developed as part of engineering needs to measure volume of material in the making of plastics. Materials would be poured in a warehouse, piling sometimes along outside walls and corners and into other piles. He needed to measure partial sections of these piles and developed this math after he could not find the answers elsewhere. After developing the math for cones, he also applied it to a sphere, which is also posted in this Commons. 

This file is only page 2 of 2 of the math for calculating volume of a poured cone of material.
