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.
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.
It depends on the shape. The formula for the volume of a sphere is quite different from that for the volume of a cube.
It had definite shape and volume
It depends on the shape. The volume of a sphere will increase differently to the volume of a cylinder, for example.
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.
You cannot have a trapezoidal cylinder. That is like a square circle - an impossible shape.
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.
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.
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.
It is a cylinder since it has three bases of measurement rather than the two that a circle has.
A liquid has a fixed volume but not a fixed shape. If you put it into a graduated cylinder, it will take the shape of the cylinder. If you put it into a bowl, it will take the shape of the bowl.
