Sorry to piggy back on to this thread - there isn't one which suits my query. We are trying to determine how much oil is actually left in our oil tank. It's a 1000 litre cylindrical tank, lying on it's side. When we measure the remaining oil, it shows 25% of the height of the tank. As the tank narrows at the bottom due to it's shape, we are wondering how much is actually left. Main reason for the query is that we will be going away for most of Feb and don't want to buy oil unnecessarily before we go. Is there a formula which calculates the actual amount or percentage volume of oil remains?
Height remaining | Volume remaining |
---|---|
50% | 50% |
45% | 44% |
40% | 37% |
35% | 31% |
30% | 25% |
25% | 20% |
20% | 14% |
15% | 9% |
10% | 5% |
5% | 2% |
