  2. On the Sphere and Cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Sphere_and_Cylinder

    On the Sphere and Cylinder (Greek: Περὶ σφαίρας καὶ κυλίνδρου) is a treatise that was published by Archimedes in two volumes c. 225 BCE. [1] It most notably details how to find the surface area of a sphere and the volume of the contained ball and the analogous values for a cylinder, and was the first to do so. [2]

  3. Spherical segment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_segment

    Thus, the segment volume equals the sum of three volumes: two right circular cylinders one of radius a and the second of radius b (both of height /) and a sphere of radius /. The curved surface area of the spherical zone—which excludes the top and bottom bases—is given by =.

  4. The Method of Mechanical Theorems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Method_of_Mechanical...

    The condition of balance ensures that the volume of the cone plus the volume of the sphere is equal to the volume of the cylinder. The volume of the cylinder is the cross section area, times the height, which is 2, or . Archimedes could also find the volume of the cone using the mechanical method, since, in modern terms, the integral involved ...

  5. Napkin ring problem - Wikipedia

    Lines, L. (1965), Solid geometry: With Chapters on Space-lattices, Sphere-packs and Crystals, Dover. Reprint of 1935 edition. A problem on page 101 describes the shape formed by a sphere with a cylinder removed as a "napkin ring" and asks for a proof that the volume is the same as that of a sphere with diameter equal to the length of the hole.

  6. 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.

  7. Volume of an n-ball - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_of_an_n-ball

    where S n − 1 (r) is an (n − 1)-sphere of radius r (being the surface of an n-ball of radius r) and dA is the area element (equivalently, the (n − 1)-dimensional volume element). The surface area of the sphere satisfies a proportionality equation similar to the one for the volume of a ball: If A n − 1 ( r ) is the surface area of an ( n ...

  9. Cavalieri's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavalieri's_principle

    As can be seen, the area of the circle defined by the intersection with the sphere of a horizontal plane located at any height equals the area of the intersection of that plane with the part of the cylinder that is "outside" of the cone; thus, applying Cavalieri's principle, it could be said that the volume of the half sphere equals the volume ...
