User Guide

This tool will calculate the measurement of a selected dimension for one of the shapes, which is necessary to ensure a cylindrical and spherical shaped object have the same volume.

Experiment with different dimensions of each shape whilst maintaining an equal volume for both.

Formulas

The formulas used by this cylinder and sphere dimensions with same volume calculator, to determine each individual parameter, are as follows:

Same Volume Mode (V_cyl = V_sph)

L_cyl = 2 · ø_sph³ / (3 · ø_cyl²)

ø_cyl = √(2 · ø_sph³ / (3 · L_cyl))

ø_sph = ∛(3 · L_cyl · ø_cyl²/ 2)

Cylinder Mode

L_cyl = 4 · V / π · ø_cyl²

ø_cyl = 2 · √(V / (L_cyl · π))

V = L_cyl · π · ø_cyl²/ 4

Sphere Mode

ø_sph = ∛(6 · V / π)

V = π · ø_sph³ / 6

Symbols

• L_cyl = Length of cylinder
• ø_cyl = Diameter of cylinder
• ø_sph = Diameter of sphere
• V = Volume of cylinder or sphere
• π = Pi = 3.14159…
