Spherical layer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Spherical layer

A spherical layer , also known as a spherical disk, is a part of a sphere that is cut out by two parallel planes . The curved surface part is called the spherical zone .

Formulas

The following formulas apply to the calculation of volume , surface area and surface of a spherical layer . It denotes the radius of the sphere , the radii of the boundary circles and the height of the spherical layer.

These three quantities are not independent of one another. The spherical layer is determined by any three of these four sizes. The fourth can be calculated from three of the four quantities.

Sizes of a spherical segment with the radius r of the sphere, the radii a 1 , a 2 of the boundary circles and the heights h , h 1 , h 2
volume
Area of the lateral surface
Surface area

Derivation

The spherical layer can be imagined as the spherical segment with the lower circle as the base circle, from which the spherical segment with the upper circle as the base circle is taken away. Let it be the height of and the height of . The volumes of the two spherical segments are (see spherical segment ). So is

With the relationships (see spherical segment ) results

There follows the formula above:

The same results for the outer surface

Relationship of parameters

To prove the relationship between let the distance of the lower plane to the center of the sphere . Then applies

If one sets the two equations equally and solves for , one obtains and with the first equation follows
