The Napkin Ring Problem

[@Vsauce]

Sorry Napkinheads, but the solid shown from 0:18 to 0:24 is not a proper mathematical "napkin ring." It shouldn't have flat faces on the top and bottom.

[@1nt3rD1ct0r]

Technically, the math involved here is only at the level you'd learn in a highschool trigonometry class. To be sure, it's not immediately intuitive and even if you knew how all the math involved worked that's not a guarantee you could figure this proof out on your own; but if you really would like to learn more about these kind if things, the math involved would not take very long to learn. I don't know what your education level is, but a single college level algebra class would likely cover more than anything you'd need. As far as Vsauce videos go, this one has a fairly low bar for entry and I'd encourage you to maybe pick up a book or two talking about trigonometry if you don't feel like taking a class. Knowing about angles and some of the more involved proofs for shape structure function has helped me a lot to intuitively understand my surroundings in every day life. It has certainly helped me to visualized objects better and increased my spacial understanding. I wish when I did trig back in high school I paid more attention, maybe learning Calc would have been easier if I didn't botch my basics.

[@garkeinbock7103]

Maybe it's helping if you watch it bit after bit and pause to ponder. Are there any specific questions?

[@Nepter8248]

Let me try and translate it into simpler words: Take a sphere, like a basketball, and trace a path around it. You now have a sphere and a circle that are the same size. Do the same thing with other spheres, and measure how big that each sphere/circle pair is. You'll see a pattern emerges. That's how we get those formulas in school that teach you how to calculate a shape's volume and area and stuff. Remember this 'sphere/circle ratio.' It'll be important later. Now, cut a round hole all the way through the sphere and look at the hole head-on. The sphere will be smaller, obviously. Put the sphere back on the circle you traced and trace a second circle through the cut-out part. Your circle will now be a donut, so the circle is also smaller. Since you dug the same shape out of the sphere and the circle, the sphere/circle ratio won't change. In fact, a sphere or circle that's missing a piece isn't really that different from a sphere or circle that's smaller than the ones you started with. Remember this, too. The last part of this is to take 2 of your spheres and keep digging out the middles of them until only a napkin ring is left of each, and both napkin rings are the same height - maybe 1 inch. With both rings having the same height, the only things that make them different sizes are their lengths and widths... which are both going to be the same number because a sphere/circle is the same width all over. So now, you have 2 rings that are different sizes, but that also have the same properties: -1 inch height -(sphere width) inches across from 1 side of the ring to the other -(sphere/circle ratio) cubic inches cut out of the middle That's *always* going to be the case. If you core a blueberry and a watermelon so there's only about a blueberry's-height-worth of material left, most of the blueberry will still be there, while all that remains of the watermelon will be a very thin layer of the rind. They're both 1 blueberry high, 1 (insert the width of either fruit here) in diameter, and they're both missing (blueberry height minus sphere/circle ratio). Plug the numbers into a calculator, and you'll wind up with matching answers every time.

[@Hawkmenn]

this legitimately helped me with a 3rd year applied calculus final in my mechanical engineering degree. question asked about the volume of a napkin ring of the determined height and instead of going through complicated calculus to find the answer i just found the volume if a sphere of the "same height" --- Very cool of you Micheal !:D (with teeth)

[@EliteTeamKiller2.0]

How did you get that one right when the volume of a napkin ring is (1/6)pi h^3, which clearly is not the volume of a sphere? You had to do something fairly clever. Please elaborate.

[@Mr.D.C.]

@@EliteTeamKiller2.0 If you have a napkin ring of height h taken from a sphere with radius R, the volume of that napkin ring will only depend on h. So you can just let h = 2r, so that the height of the napkin ring is the same as the height of the sphere, so then no volume is cut out of the sphere. (Edit: typo)

@FireBeam BRO what? Yes I understand. The equation proved that the size of the sphere is not relevant, if they share the same height the volume that it would take up is the same. This guy is saying "oh he took more from the bigger one", but he needed to take more from the bigger one in order to get a napkin ring that is the same height. This concept is really interesting and if you felt this was stupid, then you should have just closed the video.

[@ameerabdallah5429]

Pegasi yes, he did prove that the radius of the sphere does not matter. He didn’t prove that the equation didn’t matter though. The proof is to show that you can have something with infinite radius but if you take make a napkin ring of the same height as an atom, they’ll both be the same. Being able to prove something like that actually matters a lot

[@mantacid1221]

I saw this video a long time ago but never forgot it. Now I’ma math tutor and I bring it up with my students every so often. Although I did forget this version of the explanation, and so I’d have to use calculus to prove it, which I imagine must have confused the younger kids.

[@animowany111]

I love this kind of video, it captures that feeling, that after looking at a problem for a while, and solving equations, you find a fascinating, counter-intuitive fact. In this case, the sphere's radius cancelling out. And all of the math used in this video is simple, high-school (or even middle-school)-level math - Subtract terms from both sides, square or take the square root, use the Pythagorean theorem, BAM, you got a result
