Question 1205083: A pipe has inside diameter of 1 inch and water is flowing at 100 ft. per min. Determine amount of water discharged in an hr.
Please check my calculations.
Pipe is a cylinder.
Volume: Pi * radius^2 * height.
3.1416 * .5^2 * 100 * 60 = 6000 ft. (6000 ft. = 72000 in.)
3.1416 * .25 * 56548.8 = 56549 cu. in.
56549 / 231 = 244.80 = 245 gal.

You should convert the radius in feet, since you need to keep your units consistent.

In your post, this conversion is MISSED, making all calculations INCORRECT.
