How to determine capacity of an object

[Hoggslayer]

I was joking. It was just kinda funny that the numbers were that close but a decimal spot off.

I've been known to make that simple mistake before. I cut a six foot I-beam one time for a bridge 3 times and it was still too short every everytime.

I'm going to say more than 37lbs.

not across in diameter (around)

Let's start over......

Too early in the morning for this math stuff.....

The 103" is the circumfrence. I didnt get the diameter. The height is 5ft.

You guys are cracking me up. . .I think Sticks formula is correct. . .1,150 lbs.

Since the 103 is circumference I say 1,312 Pounds of corn. Give or take 12 pounds.

Pi R Sq. x H

3.14 x (51.5x51.5) = 8328.065

8328.065 x height of tank 60 = 499683.9 cubic inches of volume

231 cubic inches per Gallon

499683.9 / 231 = 2163.13 gallons

Corn is roughly 5.99Lbs per gallon so that is 12957.15 pounds of corn.

Came up with very similar numbers.

3.14159 x (51.5x51.5) = 8332.3 in2

8332.3*60 = 499936.9 in3

499936.9 in3 = 289.3 ft3

According to Google a cubic foot of shelled corn = 45lbs.

45*289.3 = 13,018.5

Basically between both of our sets of numbers he's looking at 6 1/2 tons.

[JonBoy]

Calculate volume 51.5”x(3.14^2)x60

Then weigh a particular volume of corn/feed ie 5gal bucket.

Divide that volume out to get the number of buckets it holds theme multiply by the weight of a bucket to get what the tank will hold.

Someone already knows what a bucket of corn weighs. I’m guessing 40ish.

870lbs.

Formula for area of a circle is Pi*R^2. You calculated R*Pi^2. Makes a big difference in area and volume.

Lmao that changes everything!

Just saw it was the circumference. Yep, I agree. 26 bags of corn
