A current US one-cent coin (penny) is 19.05 mm in diameter and 1.55 mm thick.
This is about 0.442 cubic centimeters (441.8 mm3) or 0.027 cubic inches.
The UK British penny (one new pence, steel) is 20.32 mm in diameter and 1.65 mm thick.
This is about 0.535 cubic centimeters or 0.033 cubic inches.

The volume is calculated as V = h x (pi)r2 = Height times (Pi times radius squared)
The penny is 19.05 mm in diameter and is 1.55 mm thick.
(The radius is 9.525 mm)
1.55 mm x (3.14159265 x 9.525 mm x 9.525 mm)
is about 441.78 cubic mm

What is the volume of one penny?
The volume is 2.5439333 cm ³.
How much volume does a penny have?
It has 0.35cm3
How do you find the density of a penny?
its weight divided by its volume. the volume is the circumference times thickness
What is the volume of a US penny in inches cubed?
0.02196855 cubic inches
What is the volume of a penny coin?
The current British Penny (1992 to present) is - 20.3mm in diameter (radius = 10.15mm) and is 1.65mm thick (height). Volume = Height x Pi (Radius x Radius) Volume = 1.65 x 3.14 (10.15 x 10.15) Therefore the volume is a smidgeon greater than 534 cubic mm.
How can you calculate the thickness of 1 penny in millimeters?
You can get a stack of pennies, measure the height of the stack and then divide by the number of pennies. You can also get the thickness by treating the penny as a cylinder, calculating the area of the face of the penny, then putting a whole lot of them in water, measuring the change of volume to get the total volume of all pennies, then divide by the number of pennies and divide again by the area of the penny to get the thickness.
How can a penny float?
A penny will not float in water, mainly because it is denser than water. When the penny is placed in water, it displaces a volume of water equal to its own volume. Since the penny weighs more than the water it displaces, it will sink.So, in order for the penny to float, you must find a liquid that is denser than solid copper -- or whatever metal or alloy a penny is made of. Mercury -- which is a liquid at room temperature -- is denser than copper. Hence, a penny will float in mercury.Possibly surface tension may allow it to float.
What is the volume of a pre 1982 penny?
it is unknown becasue of the change of pennys evry year
How many pennies can a garbage can hold?
Not knowing what size garbage can do the following. Calculate volume of penny. Calculate volume of garbage can. Divide A into B
Prove a new penny is not made of pure copper It has a mass of 2.49 and a volume of 0.349cm3?
at first, you have to find the density of the penny. [density = mass/ volume ] so 2.49/ 0.349 = 7.1347. rounded to 7.1 but the density of the copper is 8.92 g/ cm3 as the densities are not close, the penny is not pure copper. hope this help :)
What is the volume of 200 pennies?
There are very many countries which use pennies as their minor currency units, including the US where, for some bizarre reason, a cent is also called a penny. The country is not specified. Assuming it is the UK and that the embossing adds so volume, 200 penny coins will have a volume of approx 107 millilitres.
Would a penny sink or float in water?
When an object of volume V is submerged in a liquid, the object experiences an upward force equal to the weight of the fluid it has displaced (the weight of a volume V of fluid). Oil is less dense than water (the oil floating on the surface of the Gulf of Mexico after the Deep Horizon catastrophe is an example of this), so a given volume of oil weighs less than the same volume of water. This means that a penny of volume V submerged in oil feels the weight of gravity pushing it down, and the weight of a volume V of oil pushing it up. The upward weight pushing the penny up is less in oil than in water, so the penny will sink faster in water, theoretically.
