Formulas for calculating a cylinder wedge


Wedge length

φ ≥ 90°:   \(\displaystyle l = r + \sqrt{r^2 - r^2 \cdot sin^2(φ)} \)
φ < 90°:   \(\displaystyle l = r - \sqrt{r^2 - r^2 \cdot sin^2(φ)} \)

Volume

\(\displaystyle V= h \cdot r^2 \cdot \frac{3 \cdot sin(φ) - 3 \cdot φ \cdot cos(φ) - sin^3 (φ)}{3 \cdot (1 - cos(φ))} \)

Lateral surface

\(\displaystyle L = \frac{2 \cdot h \cdot r \cdot (sin(φ) - φ \cdot cos(φ))}{ 1 - cos(φ)} \)
