Best Answer

You can't. In addition to the cylinder's diameter, the pressure at its base

also depends on the density and depth of the fluid in the cylinder ... which

gives you the weight of fluid resting on the base area. The pressure alone

is not enough information to allow you to calculate the diameter.

How would you wrap a piece of paper around a cylinder whose base diameter is smaller than its top diameter keeping the paper flush against the cylinder?

You would just trim off the paper that sticks out the bottom or top.

Parts and functions of graduated cylinder?

A cylinder of fairly constant diameter, resting on a base somewhat broader to give stability. At the top, it may have a small beak to aid pouring. Up the side will be a scale indicating the volume contained. On a precision cylinder, you may find alongside the scale, a couple of tiny scratch marks indicating the calibration positions. [You may find similar marks on a precision thermometer.]


They want me to find the diameter of a cylinder The only info they gave me is the height-16.8 mass-2.17 density- 2.33 I don't know how to do it can someone please walk me though?

This answer is a lot easier than you thought. I would, however, need proper units in order to give you an appropriate answer. The volume of a cylinder is calculated by multiplying the area of the base by the height of the cylinder, correct? Density is mass divided by volume, thus if you keep mass the same and increase the volume you get a lower density. So because you know the density, and the mass, (provided they are in similar units) D=M/V, where D is density and M is mass, and V is volume. You solve for volume. once you have the volume, you divide it by the height of the cylinder (once again provided the units are the same) to get the area of the base. the area of a circle is (pi)r^2 so divide by pi, and take the square root of the result. Then you multiply that answer by 2, and that is the diameter of the base.

What is the height of a cylinder if the volume is 3?

That's going to depend on how big a circle the round base is. The bigger the base is, the shorter the cylinder is. Whatever the diameter of the base is, the height of the cylinder will be (3.82) divided by (the square of the diameter of the base).

How do you find the volume of a cylinder when given the diameter?

Stand it on a circular end, like a tin can standing on a shelf.Its volume is the area of its circular base, multiplied by its height.Another Answser:To answer the specific question, you can not find the volume of a cylinder when given only its diameter. You need also its length.


Can the base diameter in a cylinder be the same as the height?

Yes, it can.


How do you find the diameter of a cylinder from the area of the base?

The area of the base of a cylinder = Pi times Radius squared. Diameter of a cylinder = 2 times Pi times Radius. To find the diameter derive the area of the base by Pi and then square root the answer. That will give you the value of the radius. Multiply that answer by 2 times Pi and you will have your answer.

How much does pressure does a one half inch diameter column of water exert at its base?

The diameter of the water column does not affect the pressure.It is the height of the column that determines the pressure at the base.(and also the barometric pressure and temperature).


What is the area of the base of the cylinder with the diameter of 8?

Diameter is 8, hence radius is 4the base of a cylinder is also a circle. so we take the formula for area of a circle which isπr23.14 x (4)2= 3.14x 16= 50.24
