The Bell-shaped Arc Length calculator computes the arc length associated with a bell-shaped object.
INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:
- (W) Width of Bell-shape
Bell-shaped Arc Length(aL): The calculator returns the lengh in meters. However, this can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu.
The Math / Science
A bell-shaped area can be create by the intersection of two equal but reversed circle sectors (pieces of a pie) where the angle of the circle sector is 60° (π/3 radians). This creates an interior equilateral triangle (see diagram).
The formula for the arc length of a bell-shaped object is:
aL = (π/3) ⋅ W
where:
- aL = Arc Length of bell-shaped object
- W = base width of bell-shaped object
- π/3 = 60°
