silo that has an inside diameter of 12ft and a usable height of 35ft . a new silo is being built with the dia?
for the 12ft dia X 35ft Lg Silo - Area will be 112 Meter Cube and for the 16ft dia X 35ft Lg Silo - Area will be 199 Meter Cube. 112 Meter cube can store 112000 Ltr (Approx) - Water 199 Meter Cube can store 199000 Ltr (Approx) - Water You can calculate by this simple way R X R X 3.1416 X Height / 1000000000 = Meter Cube. (R = Radius)
Simple answer (minus typos): V1/V2= π(R1)^2H/π(R2)^2H = (R1)^2/(R2)^2 6^2/8^2=36/64= .5625 The ratio of smaller to larger is .5625:1 The ratio of larger to smaller is 64/36 = 1.778:1
Capacity of new silo = Pi x R^2 x H = Pi x 8 ft x 8 ft x 35 ft = 7037.16 Cubic feet Capacity of old silo = Pi x 6 ft x 6 ft x 35 ft = 3598.41 Cubic feet Capacity Ratio = New capacity/Old capacity = 7037.16/3598.41 = 1.9556/1
