How do you calculate hopper?

Answer 1

To calculate the volume of a hopper, you typically need to determine its geometric shape. If the hopper is a truncated cone, you can use the formula for the volume of a frustum: ( V = \frac{1}{3} \pi h (r_1^2 + r_1 r_2 + r_2^2) ), where ( h ) is the height, ( r_1 ) is the radius of the top, and ( r_2 ) is the radius of the bottom. For other shapes, apply the appropriate volume formula based on the geometry. Always ensure measurements are in consistent units for accurate results.
