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 Height of Spherical Cap given Cap Radius?

Height of Spherical Cap given Cap Radius calculator uses Height of Spherical Cap = Sphere Radius of Spherical Cap-sqrt(Sphere Radius of Spherical Cap^2-Cap Radius of Spherical Cap^2) to calculate the Height of Spherical Cap, Height of Spherical Cap given Cap Radius formula is defined as the maximum vertical distance from the base circle to the curved surface of the Spherical Cap, and calculated using the cap radius and sphere radius of the Spherical Cap. Height of Spherical Cap is denoted by h symbol.

How to calculate Height of Spherical Cap given Cap Radius using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Height of Spherical Cap given Cap Radius, enter Sphere Radius of Spherical Cap (r_Sphere) & Cap Radius of Spherical Cap (r_Cap) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Height of Spherical Cap given Cap Radius calculation can be explained with given input values -> 4 = 10-sqrt(10^2-8^2).
