Volume of Water in a Horizontal Cylindrical Tank

water level

1

tank capacity

12500

volume contained in liters: 6250 (50%)

This Demonstration determines the volume of water in a horizontal cylindrical tank as a function of the total volume and the water level. A cross section of the cylinder is shown. The water level, expressed as a multiple of the tank radius, varies between 0 and 2.
