Volume Results
Formula used: V = π × r² × h
Dimensions: Height: 0.000m, Radius: 0.000m
Volume in cubic meters: 0.000000 m³
Practical Applications
Example Calculations
Water Tank Example (Centimeters)
Dimensions: Height = 50 cm, Diameter = 30 cm
Radius: 30 ÷ 2 = 15 cm
Formula: V = π × 15² × 50
Calculation: V = π × 225 × 50 = 35,343 cm³
Volume in liters: 35,343 ÷ 1,000 = 35.34 liters
Grain Storage Example (Meters)
Dimensions: Height = 2 m, Diameter = 1 m
Radius: 1 ÷ 2 = 0.5 m
Formula: V = π × 0.5² × 2
Calculation: V = π × 0.25 × 2 = 1.571 m³
Volume in liters: 1.571 × 1,000 = 1,571 liters
Unit Conversions
Cylinder Formulas
Volume
V = π × r² × h
Lateral Surface Area
A = 2π × r × h
Total Surface Area
A = 2π × r × (r + h)
From Diameter
r = d ÷ 2
Calculation Tips
Ensure measurements are in consistent units
For cm inputs, result is divided by 1,000 for liters
For meter inputs, result is multiplied by 1,000 for liters
Radius is half the diameter
Understanding Cylinder Volume in Liters
What is Cylinder Volume?
Cylinder volume is the amount of space inside a cylindrical object. It's measured in cubic units, but for practical applications involving liquids, we often convert to liters for easier understanding.
Common Applications
- •Water tanks and storage containers
- •Fuel tanks for vehicles and equipment
- •Swimming pool and spa capacity
- •Pipe volume for plumbing projects
Formula Explanation
V = π × r² × h
- V: Volume in cubic units
- π: Pi (approximately 3.14159)
- r: Radius of the circular base
- h: Height of the cylinder
Conversion to Liters: 1 cubic meter = 1,000 liters, 1,000 cubic centimeters = 1 liter
