Enter the cylinder radius (m), the cylinder length (m), and the density (kg/m^3) into the Cylinder Mass Calculator. The calculator will evaluate and display the Cylinder Mass.
Cylinder Mass Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Cylinder Mass.
CM = pi*r^2*L*D
- Where CM is the Cylinder Mass (kg)
- r is the cylinder radius (m)
- L is the cylinder length (m)
- D is the density (kg/m^3)
How to Calculate Cylinder Mass?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Cylinder Mass.
Example Problem #1
- First, determine the cylinder radius (m).
- The cylinder radius (m) is calculated to be : 2.
- Next, determine the cylinder length (m).
- The cylinder length (m) is measured to be: 5.
- Next, determine the density (kg/m^3).
- The density (kg/m^3) is found to be: 50.
- Finally, calculate the Cylinder Mass using the formula above:
CM = pi*r^2*L*D
The values given above are inserted into the equation below and the solution is calculated:
CM = pi*2^2*5*50 = 3141.59 (kg)
Example Problem #2
The variables needed for this problem are provided below:
cylinder radius (m) = 3
cylinder length (m) = 6
density (kg/m^3) = 70
This example problem is a test of your knowledge on the subject. Use the calculator above to check your answer.
CM = pi*r^2*L*D = (kg)
