The Perimeter of Annulus Sector is the total distance around the edge of the Annulus Sector. An annulus sector is a portion of an annulus (the region between two concentric circles) bounded by two radii and the corresponding arc.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates the perimeter by considering both the arc lengths and the straight line segments of the annulus sector.
Details: Calculating the perimeter of an annulus sector is important in various engineering and architectural applications where precise measurements of curved surfaces are required, particularly in the design of circular components and structures.
Tips: Enter the inner circle radius and breadth of annulus in meters, and the central angle in radians. All values must be positive numbers.
Q1: What is an annulus?
A: An annulus is the region between two concentric circles, resembling a ring or washer shape.
Q2: Why is the central angle measured in radians?
A: Radians are the natural unit for angle measurement in mathematical formulas involving circular geometry, as they simplify calculations involving arc lengths.
Q3: Can I use degrees instead of radians?
A: The calculator requires radians. To convert degrees to radians, multiply by π/180.
Q4: What are typical applications of this calculation?
A: This calculation is used in mechanical engineering for gear design, in architecture for circular structures, and in various manufacturing processes involving circular components.
Q5: How accurate is this formula?
A: The formula provides exact results for the perimeter calculation of an annulus sector based on the given parameters.
