Spherical Cap

释义

Spherical Cap

A spherical cap is the region of a Sphere which lies above (or below) a given Plane. If the Plane passesthrough the Center of the Sphere, the cap is a Hemisphere. Let the Sphere have Radius ,then the Volume of a spherical cap of height and base Radius is given by the equation of aSpherical Segment (which is a spherical cut by a second Plane)

(1)

with

, giving

(2)

Using the Pythagorean Theorem gives

(3)

which can be solved for

(4)

and plugging this in gives the equivalent formula

(5)

In terms of the so-called Contact Angle (the angle between the normal to the sphere at the bottom of the cap and thebase plane)

(6)

(7)

(8)

Consider a cylindrical box enclosing the cap so that the top of the box is tangent to the top of the Sphere. Then theenclosing box has Volume


			(9)

so the hollow volume between the cap and box is given by

(10)

If a second Plane cuts the cap, the resulting Spherical Frustum is called a Spherical Segment.The Surface Area of the spherical cap is given by the same equation as for a general Zone:
