The area of the hose section is equal to pi (3.1416) multiplied by the square of the radius. Garden hose comes in a variety of sizes, from 1/2-inch to 1-inch. 3/4-inch hose is typical. Using that as an example, the square of the radius (.375 multiplied by .375) equals .140625. That result multiplied times pi equals .4417875 square inches.
To calculate the volume, the length of the hose must first be converted to the same measurement standard. 100 feet of garden hose is 1,200 inches. 1,200 times .4417875 equals 530.145 cubic inches.
To state the volume in a more meaningful manner, cubic inches should be converted to a more common measure of liquid volume. One gallon of water contains 231 cubic inches. So, the 100-foot long, 3/4-inch diameter garden hose holds 2.3 gallons of water (530.145 divided by 231).

∙ 14y agoWould that hose be 5" inside diameter, or outside? If the hose is 5" outside diameter, what it the wall thickness?
What makes you think that there is any water in the hose? Maybe the hose is new and never been used.
You didn't think about that, did you?

∙ 14y ago2.29 gallons in a fully expanded, 3/4 inch ID hose. If you have a different internal diameter, remember that Pi X the radius^2 X length of hose gives you a volume in cubic inches, then convert the volume in inches to gallons.

How does water movement relate to pressure?
Water moves faster as pressure behind it rises. This may be illustrated by a simple garden hose, water will pour out of the hose end at a set rate, but when you put a finger over the end, thus raising pressure, the water will squirt out with greater intensity.
What kind of motion should you impart to the nozzle of a garden hose so result of water approximate sine wav?
Transverse simple harmonic motion.
Why does putting your thumb over the end of the garden hose make the water go further?
because the pressure is greater, so the water comes out quicker with more velocity which makes it travel further =]
How many quarts filled with water to fill a gallon?
I would use a water hose (lol). Seriously though, gallons is the preferred term for measuring pool capacity.
How did the friction take longer time to fill water can with hose than tap?
Friction between water and hose slows the water.
How many gallons of water in a 2.5 inch hose 100 feet long?
There need not be any water at all in the hose! The capacity of the hose is 3.41 cubic feet.
How many gallons of water flows from a garden hose for 1 hour?
Depends on the water pressure, and the diameter and length of the hose. Sorry, but there really is no one answer.
How many gallons of water to fill a 2 inch fire hose?
A standard fire hose is 50 feet long. A hose this length with a 2-inch radius grants about 4.36 cubic feet. This volume holds 32 gallons of water.
How much water is in 100 feet five inch hose?
A 100-foot hose with an inside diameter of five inches can hold 102 US gallons of water.
Can you use 540 liters of water with a hose per hour?
Easily! A normal garden hose will typically use 360 gallons a minute. 540 liters is equal to 142 gallons.
How many gallons of water is in a 2.5 inch fire hose fifty feet long?
12.5
How many gallons per hour come out of a hose?
The gallons per hour that come out of a hose depends upon two things: the diameter of the hose, and the water pressure. Since both of these vary, there is no single answer to that question. However, a one inch diameter garden hose at an average household water pressure could be expected to yield about 200 gallons per hour, in my estimation. Your mileage may vary.
How can you run water uphill with a garden hose?
You can run water uphill with a garden hose by decreasing the size of the hose as it moves away from the water source. By decreasing the hose size, pressure in the hose increases and the water will travel uphill.
What is the best water for your garden?

How does a hose work?
Can you be specific? If you mean a garden hose, then basically water is let into the hose and pressure forces the water out.
Do chickens like the hose?
A garden hose as a means to get water, yes. A fire hose, no.
