Cylindrical Shell Formula
The following formulas are used to calculate cylindrical shell values.
V = (R^2 - r^2) * L * PI
- Where V is volume
- R is the outer radius
- r is the inner radius
- L is the length/height
The following formula can be used to calculate the total surface area of a shell:
A = 2*PI*(R+r)*(R-r+L)
- Where A is the surface area
- r is the inner radius
- R is the outer radius
- L is the height
Cylindrical Shell Definition
A cylindrical shell is defined as any hollowed-out cylinder that contains an inner diameter and an outer diameter. This is also considered a tube.
How to calculate a cylindrical shell?
