Cubic Inch Calculator

Introduction to cubic inch calculator:

When we discuss the term Volume then we have the term Cubic Inch and Cubic Meter into consideration. Cubic Inch is not the standard unit for representation of the Volume but is used on a large scale as it is a very old way to represent volume till now. We can measure the Volume of different structure using different formulaes. For e.g.

1) Volume of Cube : `(side)^3` `m^3`

2) Volume of Cylinder : pi `r^2` h `m^3`

and so on...

We have different formulaes for different structures. And thus we need to know the formula before we actually start our calculations in calculator.

Now cubic inch calculator can be defined as a simple device which is used to convert a given value in inch to it's corresponding cubic inch form. Other than this we can always add the formulaes of the structures to get the volume of the structure by simply entering it's side length or height etc.. in terms of inch values

Examples on Cubic Inch Calculator

Let us consider simple examples :

Suppose that we have to convert 5 inches to  its cube. The only thing we would do is that we would enter this value of 5 in the calculator and calculator with do the calculation as `5^3` and will show the result to you as 125 cubic inches

Now if we have added formulaes to this calculator , like for calculating the volume of cube,cylinder and cone (say). Then we can use this calculator in three different cases. Please note that whatever the value we would enter in the calculator , it should be the in the form of inches Having problem with how to find the volume of a cube keep reading my upcoming posts, i will try to help you.

Case 1 : Calculation of Cube's Volume

In this case it will simply want the side length of the cube. Once you insert that it will do the calculation as `(side)^3` and will show the result to you.

Example: Suppose the Side of cube is 2 inch . Then its volume is `2^3` cubic inches = 8 cubic inches

Case 2: Calculation of Cylinder's Volume

In this case it will ask for Cylinder's base redius and it's height and it will do the calculations as `3.14*(r)^2*h` and will show the result to you.

Example : Suppose the radius is 2 inches and height is 2 inches. The volume would be `3.14*2^2*2` = 25.12 cubic inches

Case 3: Calculation of Cone's Volume

In this case it will ask for Cone's base redius and it's height and it will do the calculations as `1/3*3.14*(r)^2*h` and will show the result to you.

Example : Suppose the radius is 2 inches and height is 2 inches. The volume would be `1/3*3.14*2^2*2` = `1/3*25.12` =8.3733 cubic inches

As we have only shown 3 different cases , however we can add other cases as well.
