The formula calculates the radius of an oblique cylinder when its volume and height are known. This is derived from the standard volume formula of a cylinder, rearranged to solve for radius.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula rearranges the standard cylinder volume formula \( V = \pi r^2 h \) to solve for radius \( r \).
Details: Calculating the radius of an oblique cylinder is essential for various engineering and architectural applications, including structural design, fluid dynamics, and material estimation.
Tips: Enter volume in cubic meters (m³) and height in meters (m). All values must be positive numbers greater than zero.
Q1: Does this formula work for all types of cylinders?
A: Yes, this formula works for both right and oblique cylinders since volume calculation is the same for both.
Q2: What units should I use for input values?
A: The calculator uses meters for length units and cubic meters for volume. Convert your measurements accordingly.
Q3: Why does the height measurement matter for radius calculation?
A: The height is a crucial component in the volume formula, so accurate height measurement is necessary for correct radius calculation.
Q4: Can I use this calculator for partial cylinders?
A: No, this calculator is designed for full cylinders. For partial cylinders, different formulas apply.
Q5: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The calculation is mathematically precise based on the input values. Accuracy depends on the precision of your measurements.
