  2. Nose cone design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nose_cone_design

    In all of the following nose cone shape equations, L is the overall length of the nose cone and R is the radius of the base of the nose cone. y is the radius at any point x, as x varies from 0, at the tip of the nose cone, to L. The equations define the two-dimensional profile of the nose shape.

  3. Frustum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frustum

    The Egyptians knew the correct formula for the volume of such a truncated square pyramid, but no proof of this equation is given in the Moscow papyrus. The volume of a conical or pyramidal frustum is the volume of the solid before slicing its "apex" off, minus the volume of this "apex":

  4. Cone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone

    A cone with a region including its apex cut off by a plane is called a truncated cone; if the truncation plane is parallel to the cone's base, it is called a frustum. [1] An elliptical cone is a cone with an elliptical base. [1] A generalized cone is the surface created by the set of lines passing through a vertex and every point on a boundary ...

  5. Spherical cap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_cap

    An example of a spherical cap in blue (and another in red) In geometry, a spherical cap or spherical dome is a portion of a sphere or of a ball cut off by a plane.It is also a spherical segment of one base, i.e., bounded by a single plane.

  6. Solid angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_angle

    The formula for the magnitude of the solid angle in steradians is =, where is the area (of any shape) on the surface of the sphere and is the radius of the sphere. Solid angles are often used in astronomy, physics, and in particular astrophysics. The solid angle of an object that is very far away is roughly proportional to the ratio of area to ...

  7. Ligand cone angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligand_cone_angle

    In such asymmetric cases, the substituent angles' half angles, ⁠ θ i / 2 ⁠, are averaged and then doubled to find the total cone angle, θ. In the case of diphosphines, the ⁠ θ i / 2 ⁠ of the backbone is approximated as half the chelate bite angle , assuming a bite angle of 74°, 85°, and 90° for diphosphines with methylene ...

  8. Truncated tetrahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truncated_tetrahedron

    Given the edge length .The surface area of a truncated tetrahedron is the sum of 4 regular hexagons and 4 equilateral triangles' area, and its volume is: [2] =, =.. The dihedral angle of a truncated tetrahedron between triangle-to-hexagon is approximately 109.47°, and that between adjacent hexagonal faces is approximately 70.53°.

  9. Tree volume measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_volume_measurement

    The value 75.4 = 24 π, where 24 π substitutes for factor of 12 π in the formula for a volume of frustum of a cone encompassing a full tree using one base circumference, converting it to a volume formula that uses a basal circumference that is the average of circumferences C 1 and C 2.
