Sphere - Shell Inner Volume

The Volume Inside of a Spherical Shell calculator computes the volume inside spherical shell with an outer radius (r) and a thickness (t).    Spherical Shell 

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

• (r) The outer radius of the sphere.
• (t) The thickness of the sphere shell.

Sphere Volume (V): The volume (V) is returned in cubic meters.  However the user can automatically convert the volume to other units (e.g. liters, gallons, or cubic inches) via the pull-down menu.

Uses

The Volume of a spherical shell can compute the amount of materials needed to coat any spherical object from a candy gumball to a submarine bathosphere.

The Math

The equation for the volume of a sphere is V = `4/3 * pi * r^3`.  This formula computes the difference between two spheres to compute the volume of the shell as follows:

• • V = 4/3 π (r-t)³
