The Mass of a Cylinder calculator computes the mass or weight (m) of a cylinder based on the radius of the cylinder (r), the height (h) and the density (ρ).
INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:
Mass of the Cylinder (m): The calculator returns the mass of the cylinder in kilograms. However, this can be automatically converted to other mass and weight units via the pull-down menu. The calculator also returns the volume in liters, which can also be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu.
The formula for the mass of a cylinder is:
m = ρ•π•r²•h
