Calculation Results

Calculation Formula

Displacement = Length × Width × Height

Where:
Length = Distance from one edge to its opposite edge
Width = Distance from one face to its opposite face
Height = Distance from one base to its opposite base
Displacement = Volumetric space occupied by the object

How to Use This Calculator

  1. Enter the length of your rectangular prism in meters (m).
  2. Enter the width of your rectangular prism in meters (m).
  3. Enter the height of your rectangular prism in meters (m).
  4. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the displacement.
  5. The result will be displayed in cubic meters (m³).

Understanding Displacement

Displacement in this context refers to the volume of space that a rectangular object occupies. It's a fundamental concept in physics and engineering, used to determine how much space an object will take up.

Applications

  • Calculating the volume of rectangular containers like boxes, tanks, and rooms.
  • Engineering design for determining material requirements.
  • Logistics for shipping and storage space planning.
  • Construction for calculating material volumes needed for foundations and structures.

Example

If you have a box with a length of 2.0 m, width of 1.5 m, and height of 1.0 m, the displacement (volume) would be:

Displacement = 2.0 m × 1.5 m × 1.0 m = 3.0 m³
