Cylindrical
Cylindrical refers to a geometric shape that is long, with straight sides, and a circular cross section. The term is often used in various fields of study such as mathematics, physics, and engineering to describe objects or phenomena that have a cylindrical shape or characteristics.
Mathematics[edit | edit source]
In mathematics, a cylinder is a three-dimensional shape with two parallel circular bases and a curved surface connecting the bases. The bases are always congruent and the axis, which is the segment connecting the centers of the two bases, is perpendicular to the bases.
Physics[edit | edit source]
In physics, cylindrical coordinates are a system of coordinates that specifies each point uniquely in a plane by a distance from a reference point and an angle from a reference direction.
Engineering[edit | edit source]
In engineering, cylindrical objects are often used in machinery or structures due to their strength and ease of fabrication. Examples include pipes, columns, and tanks.
Medicine[edit | edit source]
In medicine, the term cylindrical can refer to parts of the body that are tube-like in shape, such as the esophagus or blood vessels.
