The Volume of an Ellipsoid Cap calculator computes the volume of an ellipsoid cap where the semi-axes of the ellipsoid are a, b, and c, and the height of the cap is h.
INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:
Volume of an Ellipsoid Cap (V): The volume is returned in cubic meters. However, the volume can be automatically converted to other volume units (e.g. cubic feet, gallons, barrels) via the pull-down menu.
An ellipsoid is defined by three semi-axes. In the diagram they are labeled a, b and c.
The formula for the volume of an ellipsoid cap is as follows:
`V = π⋅a⋅b⋅((2c)/3-x+(x³)/(3c²))`
