Spherical Wedge Volume Calculator (V = ⅔R³θ)
This calculator computes the spherical wedge volume: exact formula V = ⅔R³θ, worked example R = 3 cm, θ = 30° = 0.5236 rad → V = 9.42 cm³.

How the spherical wedge volume Calculator Works
The calculator applies the exact formula V = ⅔·R³·θ, A = 2R²·θ (θ in radians). Worked example: R = 3 cm, θ = 30° = 0.5236 rad → V = 9.42 cm³. Keep every input in one unit system and the result follows in cubic units (m³, ft³, liters); full precision is kept until the final rounding. Radius fields expect radii — halve any diameter before entering it.

Tips
- 1
Volume scales with the cube of linear dimensions
- 2
Convert results: 1 m³ = 1000 L, 1 ft³ = 7.48 US gal
- 3
π ≈ 3.14159 — precision kept to the last step
Common Mistakes
Mixing units (cm radius with m height)
Entering a diameter where the formula wants a radius
Forgetting the solid must be closed — check h > 0
