1500%2AL%2A%281000%2F1%29%28cm%5E3%2FL%29=1500000%2Acm%5E3

1%2C25%2Am%2A%28100%2F1%29%28cm%2Fm%29=125%2Acm

v=h%2Api%2Ar%5E2
v=h%2Api%2A%28d%2F2%29%5E2, d for diameter, h for height

v%281%2Fpi%29%282%2Fd%29%5E2=h
or
highlight_green%28h=4%2F%28pi%2Ad%5E2%29%29
Plug in the values,
system%28v=1500000%2Cd=125%2Cpi=3.14%29.
