The simple is to calculate the volume of the cone and subtract from the result the volume of the cone whose altitude is 1/2 the altitude of the original cone. This is easier said than done. The volume of a cone with circular base is (1/3)πr2s where r is the radius of the base and s is the altitude. The radius of the base of the empty part of the cone and hence its area can be found by using the pythagorean theorem

How do you calculate volume of half filled conical vessel?

You simply calculate it like a cone, but the height of the cone is the height to the top of the FILLED part, not all the way. Half-filled is not enough information . . . there can be "half filled" meaning half the height of the cone, but can also be "half filled" meaning half the volume of the cone.

How do you find the volume on a half-sphere?

Calculate the volume of a full sphere, then divide that by 2.


What is the volume of liquid in a cylinder?

VariablesD = Cylinder diameter [L].Dbot = Cone bottom diameter [L].Dtop = Cone top diameter [L].h = Cone height [L].L = Cylinder length [L].T = Top width of liquid in cylinder [L].y = Liquid depth in sphere or cylinder [L].z = Horizontal to vertical side slope of cone. zDbot.Ø = Angle representing how full the cylinder is [radians or degrees]. An empty cylinder has Ø=0o, a cylinder with Ø=180o is half full, and a cylinder with Ø=360o is completely full.

What would happen to density of a substance whose mass was cut in half?

If the mass of a substance is cut in half but the volume remains the same, the density of the substance would also be cut in half. This is because density is calculated by dividing mass by volume, so reducing the mass will directly affect the density without changing the volume.


What is the radius of a cone?

Half of its diameter


An hourglass composed of 2 identical cones is 19 cm tallthe radius of each cone is 3cm if you want to fill the bottom half of the hourglass 5 8 full of salt how much salt will you need?

Volume of each cone: 1/3*pi*32*19 = 57*pi cubic cm 5/8 of 57*pi is about 112 cubic cm


A rectangular fish tank having dimensions of 100 cm by 40 cm by 60 cm is half full of water. How many litres of water are there in the tank?

The answer to this is pretty straightforward. First, the volume a tank measuring 100 by 40 by 60 cm is 100x60x40cm = 240,000 cm^3 or cubic cm. Since one liter = 1000 cm^3, the total tank volume is thus 240 liters. If the tank is half full, then simply halve the amount of water so the tank would contain 120 liters if half full. The same approach can be used for any tank or container assuming it's volume is known, or can be calculated.
