What is the formula for calculating volume of a Taurus?

Answer 1

Volume of a Taurus figure:

First, you need to calculate the cross sectional area:

If the Taurus is solid:

A = (PI * R^2)

If the Taurus is hollow:

outsideArea = (PI * outerRadius^2)

insideArea = (PI * innerRadius^2)

A = outsideArea - insideArea

Next, you need the outside and inside arc lengths:

outsideArcLength = ((PI * outerDiameter ) / 360) * angle

insideArcLength = ((PI * innerDiameter ) / 360) * angle

Finally:

Volume = (outsideArcLength * (Area/2)) +( insideArcLength * (Area/2))

Enjoy!

OK. So much 4 comedy.

1. U r not supposed 2 sign ur answers (see guidelines)
2. What angle?
3. Taurus is a constellation in the Zodiac in the shape of a bull; a torus is the shape of a donut.
4. The correct formula is (pi * r ^ 2) * (2 * pi * R), where r is the radius of the cross-sectional circle, and R is the radius of the central circle. In other words, u multiply the area of the cross-section by the circumference of the central circle.
