Sphere help please

If I set a .062" ball on top of a .031" hole how much of the ball will protrude into the hole height wise?

Thanks for any help.

Are the values 0.062 and 0.031 the radii or the diameters?

When you reply, please include a clear listing of your thoughts and efforts so far, so we can see where you're getting stuck. Thank you!

Diameters. I am a grown man with no text books or knowledge really. Just need the answer for something I'm building. Thanks.

Oh, so you're not needing the service that this site offers (giving of our time to help struggling students learn the material in order to complete their homework exercises); you're needing a contracting service. I'm not familiar with any contractors providing the design assistance you're needing on a free and on-demand basis, but maybe you can find something in Google...?

Good luck on your project!

Its not for profit.

And you said .062" is the diameter.
1/16 of an inch = .0625: so the ball is about size of a pinhead
Are you serious?

Hint: R - sqrt(R^2 - r^2)

Thank you Denis! You make the internet great! I wanted to know how to do the math before my guy starts prototyping in CAD so I can tell him where to start. I am working with 1/16" ball bearing that are undersized at least at room temperature.
