For
X
(
θ
,
z
)
=
(
ϕ
(
z
)
cos
θ
,
ϕ
(

sin

,

)
,
(1)
the
area density
after integrating over
θ
is
2
π
ϕ
1
+
ϕ
′2
. If every
height
interval has
area
2
π
r
times
its
length
, continuity
forces
ϕ
2
(
1
+
ϕ
′2
)
=
r
2
.
(2)
Where
0
<
ϕ
<
r
, the
sign
of
ϕ
′
is constant and
r
2
−
ϕ
2
has
derivative
±
1
. Hence the profile lies on
a
circle
of
radius
r
.
