Re: Pappus nested circles

If it is fine, can you please give me your email id, i can send the spreadsheet to you, with all calculations and the resulting chart.

Re: Pappus nested circles

You are showing me the output, debugging a program is something you have to do because you understand what you did.

I can help with the mathematics of how you entered the first equation into excel. If you did that right then the rest you will have to figure. Did you enter it correctly? Show how you entered it.

Re: Pappus nested circles

yes i can do the debugging,i agree. But the circles need to touch / tangential, bu they are not as i construct the chart, maybe  am doing something incorrect ...

That might find the error.

Re: Pappus nested circles

in the first formula i entered r as 0.5, and varied n from 1 to 10  for x, then y and then R.
Cell D6 has the ratio r = 0.5, cell C7 = 0, c8=1 and so on and so forth ...

Re: Pappus nested circles

for the next one Y coordinate
C22 = n ( n varies form 0 to 10) , D21 = 0.5 The ratio r

=$C22*D$21*(1-D$21)/($C22*$C22*(1-D$21)*(1-D$21)+D$21)

Re: Pappus nested circles

the subsequent ones are as follows 3rd formula
here D36 = ratio = 0.5 and C37 = n (varying from 0 to 10
=(1-D$36)*D$36/(2*($C37*$C37*(1-D$36)*(1-D$36)+D$36))

similarly

4th formula
X for Tn

here d52 = 0.5 the ratio 'r' and C53 = n varying from 0 to 10

big_smile$52*(7+D$52)/(2*(4+4*$C53*($C53-1)*(1-D$52)*(1-D$52)+D$52*(D$52-1)))

y for Tn

here C69 = n varying from 0 to 10 and D68 = 0.5 the ratio
=2*(2*$C69-1)*D$68*(1-D$68)/((4+4*$C69*($C69-1)*(1-D$68)*(1-D$68)+D$68*(D$68-1)))

r for Tn
here D84 = 0.5 the ratio and C85 = n varying from 0 to 10
big_smile$84*(1-D$84)/(2*(4+4*$C85*($C85-1)*(1-D$84)*(1-D$84)+D$84*(D$84-1)))

now for calculating the area i am calculating the r using the circle formula of x^2 + y^2 = r^2.

How about a D in front of that 52?

Ok Thanks

There is a D in front to 52 it gets converted to a smiley when it is represented in this website..

Re: Pappus nested circles

The fourth line looks okay then.

here C69 = n varying from 0 to 10 and D68 = 0.5 the ratio

=2*(2*$C69-1)*D$68*(1-D$68)/((4+4*$C69*($C69-1)*(1-D$68)*(1-D$68)+D$68*(D$68-1)))

Inline63.gif

Fifth looks okay.

r for Tn
here D84 = 0.5 the ratio and C85 = n varying from 0 to 10

$D84*(1-D$84)/(2*(4+4*$C85*($C85-1)*(1-D$84)*(1-D$84)+D$84*(D$84-1)))

Inline66.gif

Last looks okay. How did you arrive at r = .5?

Re: Pappus nested circles

yes i have tried other guesses , r = 0.5, 0.33, 0.25 .. and so on upto 0.1

will the spreadsheet help in deciphering the error ..? i can send that to you if it is not much of a bother ...
