Hi would you know how to calculate the volume of a chicken egg with a height of 47cm width of 39 and weight of 42g.(not the water displacement method) thanks for your time.

  • If you make the assumption that an egg takes the form of an ellipsoid (which it technically is not), then you get a fairly good approximation of its volume – imranfat Feb 08 '20 at 21:34

    47 centimeters is an awfully big egg. I think you mean 47mm (and likewise for the unspecified 39). – Barry Cipra Feb 08 '20 at 21:36

    Volume is $\int_0^{2\pi}(\int_0^{47} f(x)dx)d\theta$ where $y= f(x)$ is a formula for determining how wide, $y$, the egg is and height of $x$. An ellipse has a formula of $\frac {x^2}{(\frac {47}2)^2} + \frac {y^2}{(\frac {39}2)^2} = 1$. Weight has nothing to do with anything. – fleablood Feb 08 '20 at 21:52
  • You haven't describe what kind of egg shape you want. How about this?. Just in case the picture in wiki is later removed, here it is. – Lee David Chung Lin Feb 08 '20 at 22:37

    If you know the density of an egg (which I don't; please ask the chemistry guys for this), then you can simply use $$\text{Volume} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Density}}$$ – glowstonetrees Feb 08 '20 at 23:13
