The formula calculates the inner radius of a hollow hemisphere given its outer radius and volume. It's derived from the volume formula of a hollow hemisphere by solving for the inner radius.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula rearranges the volume equation to solve for the inner radius, using the relationship between the volumes of the outer and inner hemispheres.
Details: Calculating the inner radius is essential for determining the thickness of the hollow hemisphere, material requirements, and structural integrity analysis in engineering applications.
Tips: Enter the outer radius in meters and volume in cubic meters. Both values must be positive numbers. The calculator will compute the corresponding inner radius.
Q1: What is a hollow hemisphere?
A: A hollow hemisphere is a three-dimensional shape formed by two concentric hemispheres with the same center but different radii.
Q2: What are the units for measurement?
A: The calculator uses meters for radius and cubic meters for volume. Ensure consistent units for accurate results.
Q3: Can this formula be used for any hollow hemisphere?
A: Yes, as long as the outer radius is greater than the inner radius and both are positive values.
Q4: What if the calculated inner radius is negative?
A: A negative result indicates invalid input values where the volume exceeds the maximum possible for the given outer radius.
Q5: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The calculation is mathematically exact based on the volume formula, though practical measurements may have precision limitations.
