The radius of the sphere of which a lens surface or curved mirror forms a part is called the radius of curvature.
The line segment is a radius.
A circle with a radius equal to the base of the cone. This circle will be tangential to a segment of a circle whose arc is the same length as the circle, and whose radius is the slant height of the cone.
if that line segment intersects the centre of the circle it is called a radius.
This segment would be the radius of a circle.
Radius of curvature divided by tube diameter. To get the radius of curvature, imaging the bend in the tube is a segment of a circle, the radius of curvature is the radius of that circle.
Segment HP
the center of curvature is the ORIGIN of the radius of curvature
8 Ft it cant be 8 it is ether 7.5 ft or 10 ft or 12 ft or 15 ft
Assume that the height of the segment is h, the chord length is c and the radius is r then: r2=(r-h)2+(c/2)2 (We join two radii to the two ends of the chord then extend the height of the segment to the center of the circle in which the segment is inscribed so this height will bisect the chord and you use the pythagorean theorem to find the radius)
The radius of curvature of a circle, or an arc of a circle is the same as the radius of the circle.For a curve (other than a circle) the radius of curvature at a given point is obtained by finding a circular arc that best fits the curve around that point. The radius of that arc is the radius of curvature for the curve at that point.The radius of curvature for a straight line is infinite.
Curvature is a general term to describe a graph. Like, concave or convex. Radius of curvature is more exact. If the curve in a 'small' section is allow to continue with the same curvature it would form a circle. that PRETEND circle would have an exact radius. That is the radius of curvature.
radius of curvature = 2Focal length
The radius of the sphere of which a lens surface or curved mirror forms a part is called the radius of curvature.
There is a specific formula for finding the radius of a curvature, used often when one is measuring a mirror. The formula is: Radius of curvature = R =2*focal length.
The radius of curvature and the focal length mean the same so the radius of curvature is also 15 cm.
The radius of curvature is given by(1)where is the curvature. At a given point on a curve, is the radius of the osculating circle. The symbol is sometimes used instead of to denote the radius of curvature (e.g., Lawrence 1972, p. 4).Let and be given parametrically by(2) (3)then(4)where and . Similarly, if the curve is written in the form , then the radius of curvature is given by
