    A cylinder is 650mm diameter and 1400mm high. How many litres of water
    will it hold?

    TIA

  4. 1858, I think.

  5. (pi x r2 x base = 1.858 cubic m = 1858l)

    Possibly :)

  6. Height, not base. Cnut.

    Assuming that the diameter is the inside diameter of your cylinder , 464.6

    Area of the base = Pi * Radius squared
    Volume = area of the base * height.
    If you change the measurements to centimetres instead of millimetres then
    you can divide your result by 1000 to get the result in litres



    Pi = 3.14159265394 etc

    ((650/10)/2)^2 * 3.142 * (1400/10) = 464520

    So that'd be about 465 litres.

    10 litres but this will increase to 12 litres during the adverts.

    You used the diameter instead of the radius so your answer is out by a
    factor of 4

    Pi x radius squared x height

    Work it out yourself you pikey cnut ;-)

    And don't forget to use the INNER diameter and height, unless you have
    developed molecule-thick cylinder walls...

    Are you mad?

    1 litre would be a cube 10cm by 10cm by 10cm. If we were talking
    about a square-based tube, it'd be 65cm by 65cm by 140cm which is
    just a little more than half a litre, so a cylinder won'tbe that
    much less.

    Check your units, sir!

    OTOH, technically he is right. It will *easily* hold half a litre.

  17. You spotted that then? *Whistles innocently*

    *Mumbles* 464.5l.

    pi * diameter * height

    22/7 * 0.65 * 1.4

    2.86 litres

    LOL.

    It's about the size of a domestic hot water cylinder YTC.

    Of course I meant to say

    pi * radius*radius * height

    22/7 * 0.65 * 0.65 * 1.4
