Dear Dr. Math,
I would like to know how to calculate volume of liquid in a cylinder
(not full) lying horizontally.
I appreciate your help very much.
Regards,
Zain

Hi Mohd,
Consider a circle of radius a (the end of the tank) and imagine that
the liquid has reached height h, measured from the lowest point on the
circle. Note that 0 <= h <= 2a. The area A of the segment of the
circle covered by the liquid is:
A = pi*a^2/2 - a^2*arcsin(1-h/a) - (a-h)*sqrt(h(2a-h))
The volume of liquid is just A*L, where L is the length of the tank.

How do you calculate the volume of the rectangular tank in terms of Kilogarm?
Kilogram is weight, not volume.
Calculate Volume of a Spherical tank?
A sphere volume = 4/3 pi r cubed
How do you measure capacity of a tank?
The answer depends on whether or not the tank has a geometric shape. If it has a shape that can be broken up into simply geometric shapes, each with a volume formula, you can calculate the volume of each section and add them together. Obviously that will not work with a random shape. In that case, you can fill the tank to capacity and then empty it out into measuring jars or flasks. Use the volume of the jars to calculate the volume of the tank.

How many liters in 15ftx30ft high tank?
A liter is a measure of volume; we need to calculate the volume of the tank. For this we need to have all three measurements of the tank.
How do you calculate volume of rectangle tank 18x12x30?
To calculate the tank's volume, you would have to multiply its dimensions together. In this case, it will be 18 x 12 x 30, which is 6480 units cubed
