The Breadth of Torus is defined as the horizontal distance from the leftmost point to the rightmost point of the Torus. It represents the overall width of the toroidal shape when viewed from the side.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates the total breadth by adding the main radius and circular section radius, then doubling the result to account for both sides of the torus.
Details: Calculating the breadth of a torus is crucial in various engineering and architectural applications where toroidal shapes are used, such as in pipe systems, structural elements, and mechanical components.
Tips: Enter the radius of torus and radius of circular section in meters. Both values must be positive numbers greater than zero.
Q1: What is a torus?
A: A torus is a three-dimensional shape resembling a donut or inner tube, formed by revolving a circle in three-dimensional space about an axis coplanar with the circle.
Q2: How is breadth different from diameter?
A: The breadth specifically refers to the horizontal measurement across the widest part of the torus, while diameter typically refers to measurements through the center of circular shapes.
Q3: What are typical applications of torus calculations?
A: Torus calculations are used in architecture, engineering, physics (particularly in magnetic field calculations), and various manufacturing applications.
Q4: Can this formula be used for partial torus sections?
A: No, this formula calculates the complete breadth of a full torus. Partial torus sections require different calculations.
Q5: What units should be used for input values?
A: The calculator accepts values in meters, but any consistent unit system can be used as long as both inputs use the same units.
