Viruses have different geometrical shapes, such as helical and polyhedral shapes. A particular polyhedral shape common to many viruses is a dodecahedron shape. This is a geometric shape that has 12 sides.
Yes, a screw is a helical inclined plane.
If you mean find the helical angle, alpha, using the pitch, p, with a shaft of radius, R, at the root of the teeth then: alpha= arctan( p /(2R) ) Otherwise, if you mean find the helical angle while designing a gear, it is quite complicated and requires the knowledge of various parameters such as the maximal torque, speed, material, etc.
How do calculate spiral length of Spiral rings
Viruses have four main shapes: 1. spherical (like a ball) 2. helical (like a corkscrew or a spring) 3. Icosahedron (a twenty-sided shape kind of like two prisms glued together) 4. Bacteriophage (an icosahedron head and a spider-like tail)
