What is a Spherical Cap?
In geometry, a Spherical Cap or spherical dome is a portion of a sphere or of a ball cut off by a plane. It is also a spherical segment of one base, i.e., bounded by a single plane. If the plane passes through the center of the sphere, so that the height of the cap is equal to the radius of the sphere, the Spherical Cap is called a hemisphere.
How to Calculate Cap Radius of Spherical Cap?
Cap Radius of Spherical Cap calculator uses Cap Radius of Spherical Cap = sqrt(Height of Spherical Cap*((2*Sphere Radius of Spherical Cap)-Height of Spherical Cap)) to calculate the Cap Radius of Spherical Cap, Cap Radius of Spherical Cap formula is defined as the radius of the base circle of a Spherical Cap. Cap Radius of Spherical Cap is denoted by rCap symbol.
How to calculate Cap Radius of Spherical Cap using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Cap Radius of Spherical Cap, enter Height of Spherical Cap (h) & Sphere Radius of Spherical Cap (rSphere) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Cap Radius of Spherical Cap calculation can be explained with given input values -> 8 = sqrt(4*((2*10)-4)).
