Capacity of the container = (pi) x (radius of the round end)2 x (height of the cylinder).
That's the capacity of the container. If the volume of the fluid in it is really what you want,
then you can use the same formula, but instead of the full height of the container, use only
the height of the fluid column, i.e. what we professionals would technically refer to as the "depth".

What is the formula for calculating volume of liquid?
The formula for calculating the volume of fluid to the fluid container in which it is located. For example. If the container is cylindrical. Area x height = volume of liquid
How many fluid ounces is in a cylindrical container?
The volume of a cylindrical container is dependent on the container's dimensions. Here is the formula for Volume of a cylinder. Volume = π * R2 * H Where r Is the radius of the circular end of the container, and H is the height of the container.
Calculate the volume of water within the container when full and then calculate the position of the indicating fluid when the container contains only half of its full capacity?
1/3
Does a fluid have a definite volume and shape?
A fluid has a definite volume, but it does NOT have a definite shape: its shape changes depending on the container it is in.
What Equation you would use to figure out the volume of liquid?
It depends on what information you have. If the liquid is stored in a container of which the dimensions are known, then you must calculate the volume of the container. You can simply search google for the formulae for the volume of a cube, cylinder, sphere etc. If the dimensions are not known, but the weight and density of the fluid is, then the volume can be calculated as: volume = weight (divided by) density
Will adding 3 cups of washer fluid to 1 gallon of water increase the container volume?
No it won't. But it will increase the volume of the liquids in the container, by 3 cups.
The amount of fluid a container can hold is called what?
It is usually called the capacity. It is basically the same thing as the volume.
Amount a container can hold?
Is called the capacity or the volume of the container. It is usually measured in cubic centimetres or in litres. There are formulae for straightforward shapes but for most irregular shapes the only way to find the capacity is empirically - fill it with a fluid and then measure the volume of the fluid.
Does a liquid have a definite shape and volume at room temperature?
Yes. A liquid has a definite shape and when a liquid is poured into a container, the liquid takes on the shape of the container.
How does a fluid-filled thermometer works?
As the temperature of a fluid increases, its volume increases, and as the temperature decreases, its volume decreases. Since the liquid in a thermometer is in a closed container, the fluid rises when the temperature increases and lowers when the temperature decreases.
How do you measure the volume of irregualr liquid?
you use the water displacement method and then use the formula Vo=Vf-Vi (Volume of Object= Final Volume- Initial Volume) +++ You can't have an "irregular" liquid because liquids follow the shape of their containers. However, if you know the fluid's density, but the vessel is too awkward to measure accurately enough, you could weigh the empty and totally-full container to obtain the fluid's mass hence calculate its volume.
What is defined a fluid?
A substance that is not a solid or gas, takes the shape of its container, has definite volume, but no definite shape.
