How do you draw a cylinder container with a volume of 240cm3?

You cannot. The cylinder could be a large squat shape, or a thin tube which could be as long as you want. The volume of a cylinder does not determine its shape.


What is the shape factor for a cylinder in terms of powdered materials used in the sintering process?

The general form for the shape factor of any shape is: Ks = (DeA) / V where Ks : Shape Factor De : Equivalent Diameter of a sphere with a volume equal to the volume of the non-spherical particle A : Area of the shape V : Volume of the shape By setting the equation for the volume of a sphere and the volume of the shape in question (in this case a cylinder) we can find De. De = ((3/4) r2 h)(1/3) De : Equivalent Diameter D : Diameter of the cylinder h : height of cylinder Substituting the formula for the area and volume of a cylinder and the De into the general form will give us the shape factor for a cylinder.


What is formula of volume measurement?

It depends on the shape. The formula for the volume of a sphere is quite different from that for the volume of a cube.


How does the volume change if the radius is tripled?

It depends on the shape. The volume of a sphere will increase differently to the volume of a cylinder, for example.


Does gas have shape and will volume affect it?

Gas tends to take the shape of the volume it's in. If the volume is reduced, then the pressure of the gas will increase.


Formula for volume of a trapezoidal cylinder?

You cannot have a trapezoidal cylinder. That is like a square circle - an impossible shape.


How does the formula of the area of a circle relate to the volume of a cylinder?

The volume of a cylinder is its height times the area of its base. And the area of its base is the area of a circular shape.


How to find the volume of an irregular shape?

To find the volume of an irregular shape, you need to use the water displacement method. If the object can fit into a graduated cylinder, fill the cylinder with enough water to adequately cover the object, but don't put the object inside the cylinder yet. Record the amount of water in the cylinder. Carefully drop the object into the cylinder. This will cause a rise in the water in the cylinder. Record this second volume. Subtract the first volume from the second volume, and the difference is the volume of the irregular object. For larger objects, use an overflow can.


Why are bottles made in a cylinder shape?

Bottles are made to carry the most amount of liquid in the smallest volume. The best shape would be a cuboid but these have sharp corners, (Health & Safety), therefore the smallest shape which can hold the second most volume is a cylinder.


What shape a coin is?

It is a cylinder since it has three bases of measurement rather than the two that a circle has.


What instrument which would be more accurate for measuring the volume of a liquid?

A graduated cylinder would be more accurate for measuring the volume of a liquid compared to a beaker. This is because graduated cylinders have more precise volume markings and allow for more accurate readings due to their narrow and uniform shape.


What do you use to measure the vlume of a solid?

The method for determining the volume of a solid depends on its shape. The volume of a solid object with a regular geometric shape (rectangular box, cube, cylinder, sphere) can be determined using the volume formula for the shape. Because many objects are not regularly shaped their volume cannot be determined using a volume formula. The volume of these objects can be found by water displacement. A volume of water sufficient to cover the object is placed in a graduated cylinder and the volume read. The object is added to the cylinder and the volume read again. The difference between the two volumes is the volume of the object.
