Cylinder Volume Formula:
From: | To: |
The volume of a cylinder is the amount of liquid it can hold, calculated using the mathematical formula for the volume of a right circular cylinder.
The calculator uses the cylinder volume formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates the area of the circular base (πr²) and multiplies it by the height to get the volume.
Details: Accurate volume calculation is crucial for liquid storage, chemical processing, and any application involving cylindrical containers.
Tips: Enter radius and height in meters. Both values must be positive numbers. The result will be in cubic meters.
Q1: What units should I use?
A: The calculator uses meters (m) for input and cubic meters (m³) for output. Convert your measurements if needed.
Q2: Does this work for horizontal cylinders?
A: This formula is for vertical cylinders. Horizontal cylinders require a more complex calculation.
Q3: How precise is this calculation?
A: The calculation is mathematically precise, but practical accuracy depends on your measurement precision.
Q4: Can I use this for irregular cylinders?
A: No, this formula only works for perfect right circular cylinders with uniform dimensions.
Q5: How do I convert the result to liters?
A: Multiply the cubic meter result by 1000 to get liters (1 m³ = 1000 L).
