1. What is the Cylinder Volume Formula?

The volume of a cylinder is calculated using the formula V = πr²h, where r is the radius of the base and h is the height of the cylinder. This gives the volume in cubic meters when measurements are in meters.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the cylinder volume formula:

Where:

• \( V \) — Volume in cubic meters (m³)
• \( \pi \) — Mathematical constant (~3.14159)
• \( r \) — Radius of the base in meters
• \( h \) — Height of the cylinder in meters

Explanation: The formula calculates the area of the circular base (πr²) and multiplies it by the height to get the total volume.

3. Importance of Volume Calculation

Details: Calculating cylinder volume is essential in engineering, construction, fluid dynamics, and many industrial applications where cylindrical containers or pipes are used.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the radius and height in meters. Both values must be positive numbers. The calculator will compute the volume in cubic meters.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What if my measurements are in centimeters?
A: Convert cm to m by dividing by 100 before entering values (10cm = 0.1m).

Q2: Does this work for pipes and tubes?
A: Yes, as long as they're perfect cylinders. For hollow cylinders, subtract the inner volume from outer volume.

Q3: How accurate is this calculation?
A: It's mathematically exact for perfect cylinders. Real-world accuracy depends on measurement precision.

Q4: Can I calculate liquid volume in a tank?
A: Yes, if the tank is cylindrical and lying horizontally, though the calculation is more complex for partial fills.

Q5: What about other units like liters?
A: 1 m³ = 1000 liters. Multiply the result by 1000 to convert to liters.
