The floor area in a spherical space station 2009-02-14
Ed pose la question :
I am writing a science fiction novel that involves a spherical space station with a radius of 800 meters. Inside, artificial gravity allows parallel floors set 4 meters apart. If you count the floor that has a radius of 800 meters as Floor 0, then the next floor up (Floor +1) would by 4 meters above the surface of Floor 0. There would then be Floor -1 4 meters down from Floor 0. This would continue until you reach the top or bottom floor, where there is at least 4 meters but less than 8 meters to the top or bottom of the sphere. Obviously the top and bottom floors would have the (same) smallest area, while Floor 0 would have about 2 million square feet.

My problem is figuring out the total area of all of the floors, or for that matter, any particular floors or the total number of floors (the total of all the + floors, the - floors (these numbers will be the same) plus Floor 0.

Segments of a sphere 2009-01-16
Herman pose la question :
How do I solve for a segment of a sphere so that the orange peel or pie shaped section is converted to a flat surface with dimensions. I form large diameter domes, elliptical and sphere heads on a press. I enter the diameter say 30 feet with two segments above and below the equator and the total number of segment around the circumference at say 18 so the widest part of the pie shaped section will fit my press. How do I take the upper or lower course above or below the equator and figure the height of the orange peel shape, the chord length at top and bottom, and solve for the right angle at 2 degree increments down the arc length of the pieces so I can layout the flat plates prior to pressing. Thanks for your help.

A geodesic dome 2007-09-25
Roger pose la question :
In my Science-Fiction series, I have a Dyson's Sphere tiled with regular hexagons. The number of hexagons is over 300,000 and the radius of the Sphere is roughly 80,000,000 miles. The actual size of the Sphere and hexagons have been left flexible until I can come up with a definite number of hexagons that would fit. My problem is the pattern of hexagons which would fit within the sphere without leaving gaps or overlapping.

My best guess has been to use four equilateral triangles composed of 78606 hexagons, (396 per edge) arranged around the sphere with six 'zippers' to connect them and four 'caps' at the points, for a total of 316804 hexagons. Given the fact that each Hex is the same size, does this seem plausible? Is there some pattern formula I can use to play with these figures? Simple divsion of areas will not work if the number derived will not fit into the pattern to leave a perfectly tiled surface. Thank you.

Evie Contreras pose la question :
I would like to know how to calculate the surface area of a contact lens with a radius of 7mm? I know that the area of a circle is pi R squared, but a contact lens has a dome.

Volume of a sphere 2000-05-21
Kevin Partridge pose la question :
Does anyone have a way to physically demonstrate how to explain the volume formula for a sphere? Or perhaps how to derive the formula without calculus?

Volume of an ellipsoid 1999-12-06
Michael Nowicki pose la question :
I am a physician at the University of Mississippi. I am trying to compare the size of polyps (abnormal growth of tissue in the colon) between 2 groups of individuals. The department of pathology gives the size as length X width X depth - how do I calculate the volume? Polyps are nearly ovoid in shape.

Three Spheres 1997-01-14
Alan Schnerch pose la question :
Three spheres of diameter 2 are placed on a level surface so that each sphere touches the other two. A fourth sphere, also of diameter 2, is placed on top of the other three so that it touches all of the other spheres. The distance from the level surface to the highest point of the top sphere is . . ..
