Formula for Volume of Barrel:
Volume of Barrel = (π H (r2 + 2R2)/3)
Where,
H
= Height of the Barrelr, R
= Radii of the Barrel
The barrel is roughly cylindrical in shape except that it is bulged outwards in the middle. The barrel calculator calculates the volume of a barrel. The volume of a Barrel can be calculated by the given height and radii.
Here we solve some examples to find the volume of the barrel.
Example 1:
If the top radius of the barrel is 6, the middle radius of the barrel is 12, and the height of the barrel is 9 then determine the barrel volume.
Solution:
Step 1: Write the data from the given question carefully.
R = 12, r = 6
H = 9, V =?
Step 2: Put the values in the barrel formula and after simplifying get the answer.
V = π H (r2 + 2R2)/3
= (3.14 × 9) ((6)2 + 2(12)2)/ 3
= (3.14 × 9) (36 + 2(144))/3
= (28.26) (36 + 288)/3
= (28.26) (324)/3
= 9156.24/3
V = 3052.08 m 3
Example 2:
If the top radius of the barrel is 8, the middle radius of the barrel is 24, and the height of the barrel is 16 then determine the barrel volume.
Solution:
Step 1: Write the values of radius and height from the above data.
R = 24, r = 8
H = 16, V =?
Step 2: Put the values in the volume of the barrel formula and after simplifying get the volume.
V = π H (r2 + 2R2)/3
= (3.14 × 16) ((8)2 + 2(24)2)/3
= (3.14 × 16) (64 + 2(576))/3
= (50.24) (64 + 1152)/3
= (50.24) (1216)/3
= 61091.84/3
V = 20363.95 m 3
