Point along a circle
I am trying to find a point along a circle (see the picture).
R - is the radius of the circle (known)
C - is the length from the edge of the circle to the centre (known)
d - is a known distance from the centre, along C
I need to know the point along the dish arc distance "d" away from the centre at a right angle to C
Any help?
thanks

Call your point P and run a horizontal to Q on the vertical diameter. Then, if the centre of the circle is O, 
That is,
