Best Answer

You will need to know the height and diameter of the cylinder. Then multiply pi (3.14159) by the square of the radius (r= exactly half of the diameter) , and then multiply that by the height.

V = πr²h

Example: The cylinder is 12 inches in diameter, and 20 inches tall

V= (3.14159 × 6²) × 20

(3.14159 × 36) × 20

113.097 × 20 = 2261.94 in³

How does a piece of metal in a graduated cylinder of water allows you to figure out the volume?

The reading on the graduated scale is taken before and after the metal is lowered into the cylinder . The second reading is subtracted from the first. This gives the volume of the metal in cubic centimetres.

What is the density of a metal pipe?

Well, first you need to gather more information. Density= Mass/Volume, so you will need to find the mass in grams of this metal pipe and then calculate the volume. I am assuming that the pipe is going to be a nice even cylinder, so use the circular cylinder volume formula. Then, divide mass/volume, and your answer will be in g/cm3.

What is the formula to find the volume for cylinder by using diameter?

The diameter, alone, is not enough to find the volume of a cylinder. You need the height as well. > Where pi = 3.1416, and d = cylinder diameter cylinder volume = pi * (d/2)2 * length of cylinder

What is the density of a cylinder?

Density = Mass/Volume, correct. However, with a cylinder, you have to find the volume. In order to find the volume of a cylinder use the equation PiR2 * H where "R" is the radius (Diameter/2) squared.
