you need to use the formula for volume which is V = πr2h, where r is the radius of the tank and h is the height.

How many gallons of water are contained in a cylindrical tank 15feet high and 2yard wide?

You need three dimensions to calculate the volume: Width, Length, and Height. Multiple the three dimensions together to find the volume then multiply by 7.481 (gallons of water per cubic foot). HINT: Be sure and convert yards to feet before multiplying. +++ More +++ Given that the tank is cylindrical, the 2 yards wide would be the diameter. The Area must be multiplied by the height to find the volume. Area for Diameter is A = Pi x R-squared where Pi is 3.1416 and R is Radius. The Radius is half of the diameter, hence a diameter of 6 ft (2 yds) would have a radius of 3 ft. Use the formula to find the Area: 3.1416 x (3x3) = 3.1416 x 9 = 28.2744 sq ft. Next multiply the area by the height to find the volume: 28.2744 x 15 = 424.116 cu ft. Next multiply the volume by number of gallons per cubic foot (7.481): 424.116 x 7.481 = 3,172.8117 gallons capacity (assuming the dimensions given are inside dimensions).


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 gallons of water in a 24 inch diameter x 48 inch long cylinder?

231 cubic inches = 1 gallon. To find out how many gallons will fill the tank, you must multiply the area of the tank by the depth to find the volume and then divide by 231 to figure how many gallons will fill it: volume of 41 inch dia by 93 inch depth = 122,783.93 cubic inches divided by 231 = 531.532 gallons. PS: I assumed the 41 inches diameter is the inside diameter. If it is the outside diameter, the thickeness of the walls need to be subtracted in order to find the inside diameter for a better calculation. The formula for Area is R (radius = half of diameter) squared X Pi (3.1416).


How can I figure how much water my tank will hold the Tank is 86 long and a diameter of 42?

To calculate the volume of your cylindrical tank, use the formula: Volume = π × (radius²) × height. First, find the radius by dividing the diameter (42 inches) by 2, giving you a radius of 21 inches. Convert the dimensions to feet for easier volume calculations (86 inches = 7.17 feet; 21 inches = 1.75 feet). Then, calculate the volume in cubic feet and convert to gallons (1 cubic foot = 7.48 gallons): Volume = π × (1.75²) × 7.17 ≈ 61.56 cubic feet, which equals about 460.5 gallons.


How do you find ratio of diameter to height?

To find the ratio of diameter to height, simply divide the diameter of the object by its height. The formula is expressed as: ratio = diameter / height. Ensure both measurements are in the same units for an accurate ratio. This ratio can be used to describe the proportions of cylindrical objects, such as cans or pipes.

Wrap a string around the tree and measure the length. Divide the length by pi (~3.14159); that is an approximation of the diameter (if the tree really was cylindrical. Cut the tree down measure the stump.
