Which formula is the most accurate for calculating the volume of frustums of neiloid, paraboloid, and cone?

Newton's formula (correct)

Smalian's formula

Huber's formula

None of the above

Why is Newton's formula not widely used in practice for calculating the volume of logs?

It necessitates the measurement of the mid-diameter of logs when they are stacked.

It is difficult to apply when the logs are stacked and the mid-diameter cannot be measured. (correct)

It overestimates the volume of frustums of cylinders and paraboloids.

None of the above
