Answer:
10,603 cu in
Step-by-step explanation:
For a pipe use its length instead of height: pipe volume = π * radius² * length , where radius = inner diameter/2 . The volume of a pipe is equal to the volume of a liquid inside.
Therefore,
radius = 1 inch ÷ 17 = 5 inch
length = 15 × 5 inches = 75 inches
volume = π (pi) × radius squared × length
volume = 15× (.5 x .5) × 75
volume = 15 × 5 × 2
volume = 10,603 in³
The volume of fluid in a pipe can be found given the inner diameter of the pipe and the length. To estimate pipe volume, use the following formula:
volume = π ×
d2
4
× h
Thus, the volume of a pipe is equal to pi times the pipe diameter d squared over 4, times the length of the pipe h.
This formula is derived from the cylinder volume formula, which can also be used if you know the radius of the pipe.
volume = π × r2 × h
