Weight of a Partially Filled Horizontal Cylinder

The Weight or Mass of a Horizontal Cylinder calculator computes weight or mass of a partially filled horizontal circular cylinder based on the radius and length of the cylinder and the vertical height of the content in the cylinder (see diagram).   Partially filled Horizontal Cylinder

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

• (R) Radius of the circular end of the cylinder
• (h) Vertical height of content in the cylinder
• (L) Horizontal length of the cylinder
• (ρ) Mean Density of contents of the cylinder (e.g. water is 1000 kg/m³)

Weight or Mass (M): The calculator returns the mass in kilograms.  However, this can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu.   Note: the mean density ( ρ) of many common substances, elements, liquids and materials can be found by CLICKING HERE.
