Thread: The formula for the volume of a tube is....

    what?
    Pi r squared or 2 pi R??? times length???
    Come on impress your friends and answer this while i do an internet search.....

    I would say pi r squared * length since a tube is basically a bunch of circles on top of each other

  3. #3

    I found this : Cylinder Volume =PI*radius^2
    but what about length?? multiply the total?

  4. #4
    Mandelon
    And yes I know that pie aren't square, pie are round.

  5. #5

    yes the area of the base (pi r^2) * height (or length)

    I have three 24" tubes to fill with concrete, they are 10 feet tall.
    So 3.1416 *12"*(12) *120" ?? then divide back into feet or it
    should be same as 3.1416 *1*(1) X 10 ??

    I'd like to order the right amount of concrete...so I care and so would the customer, the concrete company, the pump guy and probably the neighbors......
    I get 31.41 cubic feet per tube, or 1.163 cu yds per tube. That sounds about right. What do ya think??

    Either way gets the same answer
    3.1416*12*12*120 = 54286.848cu in / 1728 = 31.416 cu ft
    3.1416*1*1*10 = 31.416 cu ft

    once you have that figured out, who can figure out he displacement of the tube as it is submerged in fluid, or the bouyancy factor at say..36 feet into an outer tube containing fresh water?
