The Method of Mechanical Theorems convenient to use a little bit of coordinate geometry. If a sphere of radius 1 is placed with its center at "x" = 1, the vertical cross sectional radius formula_2 at any "x" between 0 and 2 is given by the following formula: The mass of this cross section, for purposes of balancing on a lever, is proportional to the area: Archimedes then considered rotating the triangular region between "y" = 0 and "y" = "x" and "x" = "2" on the "x"-"y" plane around the "x"-axis, to form a cone. The cross section of this cone is a circle
Brand X (The X-Files) X" began as a script that explored "the horrifying aspects of over-eating". However, since an earlier season seven episode, "Hungry", had dealt with similar themes, the writing staff decided to take the story in a different direction and examine the "corporate evil that populates the cigarette industry". The episode's writers, Steven Maeda and Greg Walker, were both admitted fans of "The Insider" (1999), a film that examines the tobacco industry, and so the two decided to craft an episode with a similar feel.
