On Page 3 of the worksheet, the Volume of each cylinder (Vcyl) function does not take into account the additional volume created by the caved spherical cap profile of the piston head or the engine block.
The Volume of engine block (Veb(heb)) function has already been defined. The task is to define the Volume of piston head (Vph(hph)) function in the provided space.
