Cylinder Capacity Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Cylinder Capacity Calculator calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the radius of the cylinder in centimeters (cm). The radius is the distance from the center of the circular base to its edge.
  2. Enter the height of the cylinder in centimeters (cm). The height is the perpendicular distance between the two circular bases.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the volume and surface area of the cylinder.
  4. The calculator will display the volume in cubic centimeters (cm³) and the surface area in square centimeters (cm²).

Understanding the Formulas

The calculator uses the following formulas:

  • Volume (V) = π × r² × h - This formula calculates the amount of space inside the cylinder.
  • Surface Area (SA) = 2 × π × r × (r + h) - This formula calculates the total area covering the surface of the cylinder.

Practical Applications

This calculator can be used in various practical scenarios:

  • Estimating the capacity of cylindrical containers like water tanks, jars, and cans.
  • Designing cylindrical structures in engineering and architecture.
  • Calculating the volume of materials in cylindrical shapes for storage and transportation.
