You're essentially trying to calculate the diameter of a cylinder with a hole in the middle. There are two formulas for volume which you need.

Volume= Pi * r2 * h (where Pi=3.142, r = radius of the coil, h = width of the coil)

Volume= Weight/Density

Since both these formula equal Volume:

Weight/Density= Pi * r2 * h

Since the weight you have is for a cylinder with a hole in it, you need to calculate the volume of the whole cylinder (without the hole) and subtract the volume of the hole. So for a steel coil

Weight/Density = (Pi * rc2 * h)-(Pi * rh2 * h)

where rc= the radius of the coil and rh = the radius of the hole (Radius=diameter/2)

you're trying to calculate the radius of the coil, so rearrange the formula to get:

((Weight/Density)/Pi*h) + rh2 = rc2

The diameter of the coil = 2 *rc

NOTE:- It's important to keep your units of measure consistent throughout the calculation. Density is generally represented by kilograms per cubic metre (kg/m3) - for us metric users ;-) Therefore keep your coil weight in kgs and your radius / width measures in metres.

What is the outside diameter of a 1000 pound roll of carpet that is 12 feet x 180 feet?

To calculate the outside diameter of a roll of carpet, you can use the following formula: Outside Diameter (in inches) = √[(Weight in pounds / (Width in feet x Length in feet)) * 32] In your case: Weight = 1000 pounds Width = 12 feet Length = 180 feet Outside Diameter (in inches) = √[(1000 / (12 x 180)) * 32] Outside Diameter ≈ √[(1000 / 2160) * 32] Outside Diameter ≈ √(0.1481 * 32) Outside Diameter ≈ √4.7392 Outside Diameter ≈ 2.18 inches So, the outside diameter of a 1000-pound roll of carpet that is 12 feet by 180 feet is approximately 2.18 inches.

How do you find diameter of cylinder if pressure at base is given?

You can't. In addition to the cylinder's diameter, the pressure at its base also depends on the density and depth of the fluid in the cylinder ... which gives you the weight of fluid resting on the base area. The pressure alone is not enough information to allow you to calculate the diameter.
