The Volume of a the Cap of a Sphere calculator computes Cap of a Sphere the volume of the cap of a sphere defined by a depth (h) from the surface in a sphere defined by a radius (r) .

INSTRUCTIONS:  Choose units and enter the following:

• (r) The radius of the sphere.
• (h) The depth from the surface that defines the cap.

Volume of Sphere Cap (V):  The calculator returns the volume in cubic meters.  However, this can be automatically converted to other volume units via the pull-down menu.

The Math / Science

The formula for the volume of a sphere cap is:

     V = π•h²(3•r-h)/3

where:

• V is the volume of the sphere cap
• r is the radius of the sphere
• h is the height of the cap
