volsphere: Sphere volume

In iemisc: Irucka Embry's Miscellaneous Functions

Sphere volume

Description

This function computes the volume of a sphere using a given radius.

Usage

volsphere(r)

Arguments

r	numeric vector, matrix, data.frame, or data.table that contains the radius of a sphere.

Details

The radius of a sphere is "the integral of the surface area of a sphere."

Volume of a sphere is expressed as

V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

V

the volume of a sphere

r

the radius of a sphere

Value

volume of a sphere (as L^3 units) as an R object: a numeric vector or a named numeric vector if using a named object (matrix, data.frame, or data.table).
