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 Volume of Spherical Cap given Cap Radius?
Volume of Spherical Cap given Cap Radius calculator uses Volume of Spherical Cap = (pi*Height of Spherical Cap)/6*((3*Cap Radius of Spherical Cap^2)+Height of Spherical Cap^2) to calculate the Volume of Spherical Cap, Volume of Spherical Cap given Cap Radius formula is defined as the total quantity of three dimensional space enclosed by the entire surface of the Spherical Cap, and calculated using the cap radius and height of the Spherical Cap. Volume of Spherical Cap is denoted by V symbol.
How to calculate Volume of Spherical Cap given Cap Radius using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Volume of Spherical Cap given Cap Radius, enter Height of Spherical Cap (h) & Cap Radius of Spherical Cap (rCap) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Volume of Spherical Cap given Cap Radius calculation can be explained with given input values -> 435.6342 = (pi*4)/6*((3*8^2)+4^2).
