How many Cubic yards of Sand would be in a pile of sand 30' tall?
If I stack sand from a conveyor and the pile is 30' tall, how much sand would be in the pile.
:
Normally a pile of material such as sand will have a diameter equal to the height.
:
The volume of a cone; V = *
In this situation, the radius; 30/2 = 15 ft, height = 30ft
V = *
V = *
V = *21206
V = 7,069 cu/ft of sand
:
You situation may not fit this assumption, where height = diameter
