  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. 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. If the plane passes through the center of the sphere (forming a great circle ), so that the height of the ...

  4. 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 ...

  5. Drag coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_coefficient

    Drag coefficients in fluids with Reynolds number approximately 10 4 [1] [2] Shapes are depicted with the same projected frontal area. In fluid dynamics, the drag coefficient (commonly denoted as: , or ) is a dimensionless quantity that is used to quantify the drag or resistance of an object in a fluid environment, such as air or water.

  6. Ellipsoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellipsoid

    An ellipsoidis a surface that can be obtained from a sphereby deforming it by means of directional scalings, or more generally, of an affine transformation. An ellipsoid is a quadric surface; that is, a surfacethat may be defined as the zero setof a polynomialof degree two in three variables.

  7. Lateral surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_surface

    The lateral surface area is the area of the lateral surface. This is to be distinguished from the total surface area, which is the lateral surface area together with the areas of the base and top. For a cube the lateral surface area would be the area of the four sides. If the edge of the cube has length a, the area of one square face Aface = a ...

  8. Contact mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_mechanics

    The Hertz equation for the area of contact between two spheres, modified to take into account the surface energy, has the form a 3 = 3 R 4 E ∗ ( F + 6 γ π R + 12 γ π R F + ( 6 γ π R ) 2 ) {\displaystyle a^{3}={\frac {3R}{4E^{*}}}\left(F+6\gamma \pi R+{\sqrt {12\gamma \pi RF+(6\gamma \pi R)^{2}}}\right)}

  9. Gabriel's horn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabriel's_horn

    Graph of = /. Gabriel's horn is formed by taking the graph of =, with the domain and rotating it in three dimensions about the x axis. The discovery was made using Cavalieri's principle before the invention of calculus, but today, calculus can be used to calculate the volume and surface area of the horn between x = 1 and x = a, where a > 1.
