As this is a spheroid (a special case of ellipsoid) it can be integrated: I was mistaken by the erroneous result of your first formula. BTW that formula and others are available at http://mathworld.wolfram.com/SurfaceofRevolution.html prex http://www.xcalcs.comOnline tools for structural design See http://www.xcalcs.com/docs/symbolinfo.htm if you want to use symbols on these fora Upvote 0 Downvote
