Homework Statement
What equation is needed to calculate the height of a spherical cap with a fixed volume and radius?
Homework Equations
V=πh/6 (3a^2 + h^2)
Where V = volume, h is cap height, a is cap radius
The Attempt at a Solution
I have tried to separate the h out and got as far as:
6V/π = h[(√3a+h)^2 -2√3ah]
but think I am on the wrong track
