Spheroid Volume

A spheroid is a solid generated by a half-revolution of an ellipse about its major axis (prolate spheroid) or minor axis.

The volume equals 4/3 \[Pi] times the first semiaxis times the third semiaxis.

Formula

QuantityVariable["V", "Volume"] == (4*Pi*QuantityVariable["a", "Length"]^2*QuantityVariable["c", "Length"])/3

symbol description physical quantity
V volume "Volume"
a first semiaxis "Length"
c third semiaxis "Length"
