Best Answer

Volume = (length) x (width) x (depth of liquid)

-- Volume, cubic inches = (Length, inches) x (width, inches) x (depth, inches)

Gallons = (Volume, cubic inches)/231

-- Volume, cubic feet = (Length, feet) x (width, feet) x (depth, feet)

Gallons = (Volume, cubic feet) x (7.4805)

How many gallons are in 100 square feet?

100 sq ft equals 748 liquid gallons.


How many gallons will fit in an area 30 x 24 x 15?

The answer depends on the type of liquid and dimensional units. Presuming water and feet, you can compute the volume as 30x24015=10800 cu ft The conversion is 7.48 gallons per cu ft which gives 80784 gallons. cu ft denotes cubic feet. If dimensions are in inches, incorporate the conversion of inches to feet.


How buoyant is a 55 gallon plastic drum?

Buoyancy depends on the density of the gas or liquid in which an object is submersed and the volume of the object, because the upward force is equal to the weight of the gas or liquid that the object disperses. If you disregard the volume of the container itself, the upward force on such a container completely submerged in pure water would be the weight of 55 gallons of water, which is about 459 pounds.


What is the equivalent of 1 metric ton to US gallon?

Can not convert tons to gallons without knowing what it is a ton of... feathers or lead? That's a wrong answer. A ton is a ton irrespective of the commodity. I think you're involving "volume" or cube and over-complicating it. Also, there was a clue in the question. Neither feathers nor lead are generally calculated in US Gallons and it's fair to say the the commodity involved is a liquid


How can you use displacement to calculate the volume of an irregular shape object?

Partly fill a container with a liquid and mark its level on the side of the container. Then submerge the irregular object in the liquid and mark the new level. The volume of the irregular object is the difference in the two volumes marked in the container. Obviously, you need to ensure that the object is not soluble in the liquid. A variation on this method is to start with a container that is on a collecting tray. Fill the container to the brim, then gently insert the object and measure the liquid that overflows into the tray. This method requires only one measurement of the liquid's volume but it also requires great care to ensure that the object is submerged gently and that the meniscus (if any) is the same before and after. Not easy to do.

How to convert 1000 cubic feet to gallons?

1 US gallon = 0.133680556 Cubic Feet (ft3); and 1 day = 24 hours = 1,440 Minutes. Math equation for conversion where "x=number of gallons per day" is: (x / 1440) x 0.133680556 Example: If x=30 (gallons per day), then: 0.208333 x 0.133680556 = 2.785 ft3 per Minute.


How many gallons is left on a gasoline tanker if there is 15 inches left in a pot that holds 2600 gallons?

We can't calculate that with the information given. We could calculate it if we had either one of the following: -- how deep the liquid was in the pot when it was full or -- the shape and dimensions of the bottom 15 inches of the pot

How can we calculate the density of a irregular solid or a liquid?

You can dip the irregular solid in a water or other suitable liquid. This is how, you can measure the volume of the solid. The mass can be measured by weighing scale. Mass/volume = density. It is easy to measure the mass and volume of the liquid. First measure the mass the container. Then add the liquid to it. You will get the mass of the liquid. Then measure the volume of the liquid. Use the above formula to calculate the density of the liquid.
