This is kind of tricky, but here are the basics: Volume is the surface area of the cylinder multiplied by the depth of the water. Do not mix feet and inches, convert all dimensions to feet or inches, depending on the application. To calculate the surface area, measure the inside diameter of the cylinder, divide the diameter by 2 and then multiply by Pi (3.1416). Multiply the surface area by the depth of the water and use following information for conversion: water is 231 cubic inches per gallon or 7.481 gallons per cubic foot.

How to find the volume of a curved cylinder?

a way is you can use Archemedes principle and fill a glass of water bigger than the cylinder to the top. then place the glass in a bowl. carefully place the cylinder in the glass and make sure you submerge the whole cylinder.take the bowl with the water in it and pour it into a measuring cup and see how much water it is. that will be the volume of the cylinder.
