Question 1129112: Determine capacity (gal.) of a pipe 1450' in length, 7/8" diameter.
Pipe is a cylinder.
Volume of cylinder; pi * r^2 * height, or length.
3.1416 * .4375 * .4375 * 17400 = 10463.000625 = 10463 cu. in.
231 cu. in. in 1 gal.
10463 / 231 = 45.2943722 = 45 gal.
Where am I incorrect? Non-homework.
