  2. Cone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone

    The lateral surface area of a right circular cone is = where is the radius of the circle at the bottom of the cone and is the slant height of the cone. [4] The surface area of the bottom circle of a cone is the same as for any circle, . Thus, the total surface area of a right circular cone can be expressed as each of the following: Radius and ...

  3. Lateral surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_surface

    For a pyramid, the lateral surface area is the sum of the areas of all of the triangular faces but excluding the area of the base. For a cone, the lateral surface area would be π r⋅l where r is the radius of the circle at the bottom of the cone and l is the lateral height (the length of a line segment from the apex of the cone along its side ...

  4. Solid angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_angle

    The external surface area A of the cap equals r2 only if solid angle of the cone is exactly 1 steradian. Hence, in this figure θ = A /2 and r = 1 . The solid angle of a cone with its apex at the apex of the solid angle, and with apex angle 2 θ , is the area of a spherical cap on a unit sphere

  5. Spherical cap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_cap

    For example, assuming the Earth is a sphere of radius 6371 km, the surface area of the arctic (north of the Arctic Circle, at latitude 66.56° as of August 2016 [7]) is 2π ⋅ 6371 2 | sin 90° − sin 66.56° | = 21.04 million km 2 (8.12 million sq mi), or 0.5 ⋅ | sin 90° − sin 66.56° | = 4.125% of the total surface area of the Earth ...

  6. Spherical sector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_sector

    In geometry, a spherical sector, [1] also known as a spherical cone, [2] is a portion of a sphere or of a ball defined by a conical boundary with apex at the center of the sphere. It can be described as the union of a spherical cap and the cone formed by the center of the sphere and the base of the cap.

  7. Surface area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_area

    A sphere of radius r has surface area 4πr 2.. The surface area (symbol A) of a solid object is a measure of the total area that the surface of the object occupies. [1] The mathematical definition of surface area in the presence of curved surfaces is considerably more involved than the definition of arc length of one-dimensional curves, or of the surface area for polyhedra (i.e., objects with ...

  8. Nose cone design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nose_cone_design

    Next to a simple cone, the tangent ogive shape is the most familiar in hobby rocketry. The profile of this shape is formed by a segment of a circle such that the rocket body is tangent to the curve of the nose cone at its base, and the base is on the radius of the circle. The popularity of this shape is largely due to the ease of constructing ...

  9. List of second moments of area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_second_moments_of_area

    The second moment of area, also known as area moment of inertia, is a geometrical property of an area which reflects how its points are distributed with respect to an arbitrary axis. The unit of dimension of the second moment of area is length to fourth power, L 4, and should not be confused with the mass moment of inertia.
