Hi,
Can someone please explain to me how you get the equation:
radius=([tex]\sqrt{c}[/tex]+m2)/2m
c=length of chord
m=distance from midpoint of chord to edge of the circle
I would like to find the radius of the circle from only knowing those two quantities.
I have found the equation on various websites across the web (including http://www.math.utah.edu/~eyre/rsbfaq/physics.html), but I do not know how it was derived.
Thanks,
Lizardjuice7
