Best Answer

Measure the length of the straight portion of the tank (l) and the radius (r).

The two hemispherical end caps equate to a sphere.

The volume of a sphere = 4/3πr³

The volume of the straight portion of the cylinder is, πr²l

Add to two portions together to get the total volume = 4/3πr³ + πr²l

What things are shaped like an octagonal prism?

In geometry, the octagonal prism is the sixth in an infinite set of prisms, formed by square sides and two regular octagon caps. Pencils and kaleidoscopes are shaped like octagonal prisms.


How would you describe a pyramid?

A 3D object that has a base with at least three sides and has a triangular face for each side that come to a point. If you mean an ancient pyramid, it is an important sacred monument which caps the Earth's energy at one of its many energy points. It channels and amplifies it to support and balance the many planes of existence. Do some REsearch and wake up please. Love and Light everyone! :)


Why are fire hydrant caps pentagonal?

The main reason is so that vandals with a regular wrench cannot turn a square nut and steal water. But since this is about geometry it is probably since the nut is soft and made of brass that a square wrench would round the nut and damage it quickly. Having a pentagon shape gives more area for the wrench to grip and a triangle is the strongest geometric shape so the force is more distributed from the points to the center of the shaft. That lets you turn it with force without stripping or damaging the nut.

What is the volume of a cylindrical gas tank that has hemispherical end caps with radius 'r' and whose cylindrical midsection -- not counting the end caps -- is six feet long?

Your tank is a cylinder with hemispherical end caps. Although you said "cylindrical midsection," we will interpret that to mean the height, h, of the cylinder, which is six feet. We also infer that the radius of the sphere is equal to the radius of the cylinder, which must be the case if the tank has hemispherical end caps. So, the volume of the tank is equal to the sum of the volumes of the two hemispheres and the cylinder.The equation for the volume of a cylinder is V = pi*r2*h. If you put the two hemispheres together, you have a sphere whose volume is V = (4/3)*pi*r3.So, V = (4/3)*pi*r3 + pi*r2*h = pi*r2*(4r/3 + h),where h = 6 in this case.


How do you calculate dimensions of a cylindrical tank with hemispherical ends containing 1000 cubic feet?

There's not enough information here to do that.If the tank is nothing but a sphere, with no straight section between the hemispheres,then the sphere has an inside diameter of 6.2035 feet. (rounded)If there is a straight section in the middle, with hemispherical ends, then the longerthe straight section is, the smaller the diameters. We can't nail down the dimensionsunless you specify either the diameter or the length. We could probably do it even ifyou just give us the overall length including the end-caps.


What is the formula for calculating the volume of a sphere that has had a cylinder removed?

Although you said "cylinder," if you drill a hole through the center of a sphere, the shape of the volume you drill out is not a perfect cylinder. It looks more like a medicine capsule, a cylinder with convex end caps. The volume of a sphere = (4/3)*pi*r3, and the volume of a cylinder = pi*r2*h, where r is the radius and h is the height. So, the volume you're looking for is the volume of the sphere minus the volume of the cylinder minus the volume of the two end caps = (4/3)*pi*r3 - pi*r2*h - volume of the end caps. It requires calculus to determine the volume of the end caps. Keith Devlin of the Mathematical Association of America provides an outstanding explanation of this problem, including the computation of the end caps. See the nearby link. Keith's result is given as 4/3 * h^3. Should be 4/3 * pi * h^3. In other words, the same volume of a sphere of diameter h.

Do leave caps off or on when charging battery?

By all means, wear a hat. The battery should wear its caps as well.ANS2:The battery needs to be able to breathe. If you know for a fact that the caps are clean and the vents are open you should leave the caps on. Back in the day, when the caps screwed in and had little tiny vent holes, that was a good idea to leave the caps off or loose because the battery could build pressure enough to blow out the side.The vent caps, today, will pop off before the battery case blows out. If you leave the caps on, you are going to retain a large volume of explosive hydrogen gas if you don't top the cells up with distilled water beforehand. That hydrogen can be ignited by any nearby sparks.
