Dear Dr. Math,
I would like to know how to calculate volume of liquid in a cylinder
(not full) lying horizontally.
I appreciate your help very much.
Regards,
Zain

Hi Mohd,
Consider a circle of radius a (the end of the tank) and imagine that
the liquid has reached height h, measured from the lowest point on the
circle. Note that 0 <= h <= 2a. The area A of the segment of the
circle covered by the liquid is:
A = pi*a^2/2 - a^2*arcsin(1-h/a) - (a-h)*sqrt(h(2a-h))
The volume of liquid is just A*L, where L is the length of the tank.

How do you calculate the volume of the rectangular tank in terms of Kilogarm?
Kilogram is weight, not volume.
Calculate Volume of a Spherical tank?
A sphere volume = 4/3 pi r cubed
How do you measure capacity of a tank?
The answer depends on whether or not the tank has a geometric shape. If it has a shape that can be broken up into simply geometric shapes, each with a volume formula, you can calculate the volume of each section and add them together. Obviously that will not work with a random shape. In that case, you can fill the tank to capacity and then empty it out into measuring jars or flasks. Use the volume of the jars to calculate the volume of the tank.

How do you calculate of liters of water in tank?
its just the volume which is l•w•h (lengthxwidthxhight
How do you calculate diameter of a oil tank?
To calculate the diameter of a cylindrical oil tank, you can use the formula: diameter = 2 * square root of (volume / (pi * height)), where the volume and height of the tank are known. Input these values into the formula to find the diameter.
How many barrels are in a 500 barrel oil tank per inch?
To find out how many barrels are in a 500 barrel oil tank per inch, you would need to know the dimensions of the tank. Once you have the dimensions, you can calculate the volume of oil in the tank per inch and then divide that by the volume of a barrel to determine the number of barrels per inch.
How many gallons of oil is 23 inches in a 1000 gallon underground fuel oil tank?
To calculate how many gallons of oil are in a tank at a specific depth, you need to know the dimensions of the tank. You would typically use the formula for the volume of a cylinder (V = πr^2h) where r is the radius of the tank and h is the height of the oil. If you know the measurements, you can substitute them into the formula to find the volume of oil at 23 inches deep.
How much oil is left in a 1000 gallon underground fuel tank when the depth is 5 inches?
To determine the amount of oil left in the tank, you would need to calculate the volume of oil in 5 inches of the tank. First, find the volume of one inch of oil in the tank by dividing 1000 gallons by the total tank height in inches. Then, multiply this volume by 5 inches to find the amount of oil remaining in the tank.
How do you calculate the volume of the rectangular tank in terms of Kilogarm?
Kilogram is weight, not volume.
How many liters in 15ftx30ft high tank?
A liter is a measure of volume; we need to calculate the volume of the tank. For this we need to have all three measurements of the tank.
How do you calculate volume of rectangle tank 18x12x30?
To calculate the tank's volume, you would have to multiply its dimensions together. In this case, it will be 18 x 12 x 30, which is 6480 units cubed
How do you calculate weight of gasoline in tank?
To calculate the weight of gasoline in a tank, you would need to know the volume of gasoline in the tank and its density. Multiply the volume by the density to get the weight. The density of gasoline can vary depending on factors such as temperature and composition.
How do you calculate the volume of a vertical cylinder tank?
Volume = Cross sectional Area x Height.

How many barrels are In a 300 barrel oil tank per inch?
If there are 300 barrels in the tank and you want to determine how many barrels per inch, you would need to know the dimensions of the tank to calculate the volume of oil per inch. The calculation would involve dividing the total volume of 300 barrels by the height of the tank in inches. Without the specific height of the tank, it is not possible to provide an exact answer.
