Any volume maths experts here ?

out by a factor of ten surely?

 

It's eight inches across, and eighteen inches high - reckon you'd get
nine gallons in it?

Not if he quoted external measurements

better do a quick recalculation

 

@individual.net:

5.3litres innit?


BORG shouldn't be asking maths questions at this time of night.

I know how much beer I've got in my cylinder of 2.5" x 6" though ;-)

 

Depends on the temperature. AFAIK fuel is sold by weight (aka
calorific value?) which is why petrol prices are cheaper in summer.

 

Jesus H. How fucking easy does it need to be? Here:

Open web browser.
Enter www.google.com into address bar.
In the box in the middle, type in "volume calculator" and hit "I'm
feeling lucky!".
Marvel at how you've overcome the impossible and successfully googled
for an online volume calculator.

In case all that is too strenuous/confusing/logical here's the url:

Well, a foot square x 1.5' is obviously 1.5 ft^3, and we all learnt
at primary school that a cubic foot of water weights 62.5 lbs and a gallon
of water weighs 10 lb, so 1.5 ft^3 would be ~9.4 gall. Since you
overestimated the "foot square" by 20% (12" vs 10"), reduce this by a
factor of (100/120 = 0.83) to give 7.8 gall. Sounds right to me.

It's amazing how almost nobody can get these calculations right,
let alone come up with a back-of-the-envelope estimate.

I thought that was blood, not beer[1] -- might explain a lot.

It's all been done before.....and with as many wrong answers.

er, no we didn't, grandad.

I did learn that a litre of water weighs a kilogram, tho.

 

I learnt that a litre of water is a pint and three-quarters. Vital
info when frequenting foreign bars.

 

Bollocks, forgot to pee. I mean Pi.

16 and a bit then.

Oi! Chuck us another tinny Wally! The pommie comedians on!

No we didn't actually. We learnt that a pint of water weighs a pound
and a quarter.

































and that the hops barley and yeast made little appreciable difference to
the weight.

 

Being served in 20oz glasses makes an appreciable difference to a proper
northern pint though.

Bring back the proper 24oz beer glass with the -----pint to line-----
on the side!

Yebbut that isn't real beer is it?

So you can be ripped off with half a pint of froff on the top? If I
want froff I buy an expresso.

 

Where? I _like_ laughing at Pommies!

Down under maybe but it were one and a tanner when I were a lad. One
and nine pence in the saloon.

 

LMAO! There are a few decent beer brewed down south, but the Viking
influenced north is better at brewing than the wine importing Roman
south.

As long as the liquid is to the line in a 24oz glass, what does it matter
how big the head is on the top? It's the 3/4" head in a 20oz glass that
winds me up.

"It's part of the pint" they'll try to tell you.

"Bollocks" I reply.

 

Blimey Ivan, I never knew you were strine.
