SPHERES HANDBOOK Pages 51, 78, 85, 686, and 692— 704 A chord of a circle is the distance along a straight line from one point to any other point on the circumference. A segment of a cir- cle is that part or area between a chord and the arc it intercepts. The lengths of chords and the dimensions and areas of segments are often required in mechanical work. Lengths of Chords.—The table of chords, Handbook 704, can be applied to a circle of any diameter as explained and illustrated by examples on 695 and 704. The table is given to six decimal places so that it can be used in connection with precision tool work. Addi- tional related formulas are given on page 686. Example 1:A circle has 56 equal divisions and the chordal dis- tance from one division to the next is 2.156 inches. What is the diameter of the circle? The chordal length in the table for 56 divisions and a diameter of 1 equals 0.05607; therefore, in this example, 2.156 = 0.05607 × Diameter 2.156 Diameter = ------------------- = 38.452 inches 0.05607 Example 2:A drill jig is to have eight holes equally spaced around a circle 6 inches in diameter. How can the chordal distance between adjacent holes be determined when the table on Hand- book page 704 is not available? One-half the angle between the radial center lines of adjacent holes = 180 ÷ number of holes. If the sine of this angle is multi- plied by the diameter of the circle, the product equals the chordal distance. In this example, we have 180 ÷ 8 = 22.5 degrees. The sine of 22.5 degrees from a calculator is 0.38268; hence, the 5 6 CHORDS AND SEGMENTS
chordal distance = 0.38268 × 6 = 2.296 inches. The result is the
same as would be obtained with the table on Handbook page 704 because the figures in the column “Length of the Chord” represent the sines of angles equivalent to 180 divided by the different num- bers of spaces. Use of the Table of Segments of Circles—Handbook page 78 .—This table is of the unit type in that the values all apply to a radius of 1. As explained above the table, the value for any other radius can be obtained by multiplying the figures in the table by the given radius. For areas, the square of the given radius is used. Thus, the unit type of table is universal in its application. Example 3:Find the area of a segment of a circle, the center angle of which is 57 degrees, and the radius 21⁄2 inches. First locate 57 degrees in the center angle column; opposite this figure in the area column will be found 0.0781. Since the area is required, this number is multiplied by the square of 21⁄2. Thus, 0.0781 × (21⁄2)2 = 0.488 square inch Example 4:A cylindrical oil tank is 41⁄2 feet in diameter, 10 feet long, and is in a horizontal position. When the depth of the oil is 3 feet, 8 inches, what is the number of gallons of oil? The total capacity of the tank equals 0.7854 × (41⁄2)2 × 10 = 159 cubic feet. One U.S. gallon equals 0.1337 cubic foot (see Hand- book page 2678); hence, the total capacity of the tank equals 159 ÷ 0.1337 = 1190 gallons. The unfilled area at the top of the tank is a segment having a height of 10 inches or 10⁄27 (0.37037) of the tank radius. The nearest decimal equivalent to 10⁄27 in Column h of the table starting on page 78 is 0.3707; hence, the number of cubic feet in the segment- shaped space = (272 × 0.401 × 120) ÷ 1728 = 20.3 cubic feet and 20.3 ÷ 0.1337 = 152 gallons. Therefore, when the depth of oil is 3 feet, 8 inches, there are 1190 − 152 = 1038 gallons. (See also Handbook page 68 for additional information on the capacity of cylindrical tanks.) Example 5:Use the tank from Example 4 and the table on Hand- book page 78 to estimate the height of fuel in the tank when the tank contains 150 gallons. CHORDS AND SEGMENTS 7
When the tank contains 150 gallons, it is 150⁄1190 × 100 = 12.6%
full. In the table starting on page 78, locate the value in the A⁄π col- umn closest to 12.6 and find the corresponding value of h. For A⁄π = 12.4, h = .36392, and the approximate height of fuel in the tank is h × r = 0.36392 × 2.25 ×12 = 9.83 inches. Coordinates of Hole Circles.—A discussion of techniques avail- able for calculating the coordinates of hole circles begins on Hand- book page 692, and tables of calculated hole circle coordinates are given starting on page 696. In these tables, the coordinates given are based on a hole circle diameter of one unit. Example 6:If the hole circle described in Example 2 is oriented with respect to its coordinate axis as in Fig. 1b, Handbook page 692, what are the coordinates of the holes. As illustrated below, the unit coordinates for each hole given in 8-hole list of Table 1b, page 698 of the Handbook is multiplied by 6, the diameter of the hole circle.

Additional formulas are given start- ing on page 51. Example 7:If the diameter of a sphere is 245⁄8 inches, what is the volume, given the formula: Volume = 0.5236d3 The cube of 245⁄8 = 14,932.369; hence, the volume of this sphere = 0.5236 × 14,932.369 = 7818.5 cubic inches 8 EXERCISES
Example 8:If the sphere in Example 7 is hollow and 1⁄4 inch
thick, what is its weight? The volume can be obtained using the formula for Gv in the table starting on Handbook page 52, and the density of steel from the table of specific gravity on Handbook page 380. 4π π G v = ------ ( R 13 – R 23 ) = --- ( d 13 – d 23 ) 3 6 π volume of sphere wall = --- ( 24.625 3 – 24.125 3 ) = 466.65 in 3 6 1ft 3 466.65 in 3 × --------------------- = 0.27 ft 3 1728 in 3 weight of sphere = 491 × 0.27 = 132.6 lb
