Hi,
I was interested in the relationship between the geometry of a right
cone (radius & height) and the simple parabolic equation: y=ax^2.
More precisely what is the relationship between the parameters and the
constant, ‘a’.
I’ve worked up a solution and would like comments on it.
A PDF of the work can be downloaded here:

If you know of another group in which I could get feedback on this,
please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Thanks,
MNM
