How many gallons of water could a 5" diameter pole hold if it's 336 feet long
------------
I doubt a pole holds any.
If you mean a pipe, and the ID is 5" --> r = 2.5
----
Vol+=+pi%2Ar%5E2%2Ah+=+pi%2A6.25%2A336%2A12+=+25200%2Api cubic inches
Vol =~ 79168 cu inch
1 gal =~ 231 cu inches
--> 79168/231 =~ 342.7 gallons
