The mass of any of the discs is the mass of the sphere multiplied by the ratio of the volume of an infinitely thin disc divided by the volume of a sphere (with constant radius ). The volume of an infinitely thin disc is π R 2 d x {\displaystyle \pi R^{2}\,dx} , or π ( a 2 − x 2 ) d x {\textstyle \pi \left(a^{2}-x^{2}\right)dx} .
The following is a list of centroids of various two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects. The centroid of an object in -dimensional space is the intersection of all hyperplanes that divide into two parts of equal moment about the hyperplane.
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.
An ellipsoid is a surface that can be obtained from a sphere by deforming it by means of directional scalings, or more generally, of an affine transformation.. An ellipsoid is a quadric surface; that is, a surface that may be defined as the zero set of a polynomial of degree two in three variables.
A two-dimensional orthographic projection at the left with a three-dimensional one at the right depicting a capsule. A capsule (from Latin capsula, "small box or chest"), or stadium of revolution, is a basic three-dimensional geometric shape consisting of a cylinder with hemispherical ends. [1]
The reference point for this potential is a theoretical hollow conducting sphere, of infinite radius, with the conductor centered inside this sphere. Self capacitance of a conductor is defined by the ratio of charge and electric potential: C = q V , {\displaystyle C={\frac {q}{V}},} where
Geiger and Marsden built an apparatus that consisted of a hollow metal cylinder mounted on a turntable. Inside the cylinder was a metal foil (F) and a radiation source containing radon (R), mounted on a detached column (T) which allowed the cylinder to rotate independently. The column was also a tube by which air was pumped out of the cylinder.
A convenient formula (attributed to F.E. Terman) for the diameter D W of a wire of circular cross-section whose resistance will increase by 10% at frequency f is: [8] = / This formula for the increase in AC resistance is accurate only for an isolated wire.
