By "cbm" I'm assuming you mean, "cubic meters".

First, you have to convert inches to meters. One inch = 0.0254 meters.

So:

16 inches = 16 * 0.0254 meters

16 inches = 0.4064 meters

20 inches = 20 * 0.0254 meters

20 inches = 0.508 meters

Now you use those numbers to calculate the volume of the drum in cubic meters:

Volume = (pi * Radius^2) * Length (Note: ^ means to the power of)

Length is 0.508 meters. Radius is 1/2 diameter, or 0.4064/2 = 0.2032.

Volume = (pi * 0.2032^2) * 0.508

Volume = (3.14159 * 0.2032^2) * 0.508

Volume = (3.14159 * 0.04129) * 0.508

Volume = (0.129717) * 0.508

Volume = 0.065896

Answer: 0.065896 cubic meters or about 66/1000 of a cubic meter

What is the surface area of a 55 gallon drum in square inches?

To calculate the surface area of a 55-gallon drum, we first need to determine the dimensions of the drum. A standard 55-gallon drum typically has a diameter of 22.5 inches and a height of 33.5 inches. The surface area of a cylinder can be calculated using the formula 2πr² + 2πrh, where r is the radius and h is the height of the cylinder. Plugging in the values for the radius and height of the drum, we can calculate the surface area in square inches.

Calculate the volume of water a drum can take The drum is 80cm diametre by 1.2m height?

To calculate the volume of the drum, use the formula for the volume of a cylinder: V = πr^2h, where r is the radius (half the diameter) and h is the height of the cylinder. The radius (r) is 80cm / 2 = 40cm = 0.4m. Therefore, the volume of the drum is V = π(0.4)^2(1.2) ≈ 0.602 cubic meters.

How many gallons of water in a 24x48 inch drum?

To determine the volume of a 24x48 inch drum in gallons, first calculate the volume in cubic inches: the formula for the volume of a cylinder is πr²h. The radius (r) is half of the diameter (24 inches), which is 12 inches. The height (h) is 48 inches, so the volume is π(12²)(48) ≈ 18,095 cubic inches. Since there are 231 cubic inches in a gallon, the drum holds approximately 78.4 gallons of water.
