To calculate the volume of a cylinder, first determine the height or length of the cylinder as well as the diameter. Divide the diameter by two to get the radius, then use this formula:

  • Volume = radius2 x Pi x length (or height)

What does finding the volume of a prism mean?

A prism is a solid geometric object. If you know its shape and dimensions you can calculate its volume.


How do you calculate pipe volume?

When you calculate the volume of pipe(or cylinder, as I prefer calling it), you need to know 2 things; the height of the cylinder and the radius of the circle(base of the cylinder). Then you use this formula; hpr^2 (height * pi * radius)


How do you figure out the density of a cylinder when all you know is the mass and volume?

You can't. There are an infinite number of cylinders with different dimensionsthat all have the same volume, so the volume alone isn't enough informationto tell you the dimensions.


How o you find volume?

volume of a cube is length, by width by height. To calculate the volume of a cylinder you need to know the radius and the height and multiply.


How do you find the height and radius of cylinder with only the volume?

The volume of a cylinder is (pi)r^2h. This means the volume is dependent on both the height and the radius of the cylinder. So, one must know Volume and either radius or height to calculate height or radius respectively.


How do you find the diameter of a cylinder when you only know the length?

If you only know the length, and nothing else, you can't. If you know the length and the volume, you can calculate the diameter.

Can you calculate the volume of an item without knowing the density?

It is quite simple if it is a regular shaped object like a cylinder or a cube. For example if you wanted calculate the volume of a cylinder you need to know the radius of the circular cross-section of the cylinder - this is the measurement from the centre of the circle, to the outer-edge and then multiply that by the height of the cylinder. For irregular shaped objects don't think there is a simple mathematical way if you don't know the density but you can always use water displacement to get a volume measurement. Just drop the object you want to know the volume off into a graduated cylinder partially filled with water - the amount the level rises will be roughly equal to the volume of the object you dropped in.


Cubic feet in a cylinder?

Your question is unanswerable, as asked, but you can easily calculate the volume of a cylinder once you know its size. To determine the volume of a cylinder, you need to find the area of the circle, and then multiply that by the height of the cylinder. (Pi X Radius squared X height) Good luck.


How many oz are in a jar that measures 13x3.5?

It is impossible to calculate the volume of a jar given only these two dimensions. If the volume can be found you then need to know the density of whatever it is you are trying to fill it with.


How do you calculate the depth of liquid when you know the percent of the volume of a horizontal cylinder?

H = D sin ( ((2*pi*V.k)/V.t) - pi/2) + D Here: D = Diameter of the cylinder V.k = The known volume of the liquid V.t = The total volume of the cylinder H = The height of the liquid.


How do you find weight when given mass and dimensions?

You can't.If I tell you that the volume is "One quart", you still have no idea what the mass is.In fact, there are millions of different things it can be.If the quart volume is full of air, the mass is small.If the quart volume is full of vacuum, its mass is even smaller.If the quart volume is full of milk, its mass is medium.If the quart volume is full of rock, its mass is large.By the way ... if you know the dimensions, you can calculate the volume.Volume and dimensions give the same information.
