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:

• (r) Radius of Cylinder
• (h) Height of Cylinder
• (ρ)  Density of Material 

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 Math / Science

The formula for the mass of a cylinder is:

    m = ρ•π•r²•h

where:

• m is the mass of the cylinder
• ρ is the density of the cylinder
• r is the radius of the cylinder 
• h is the height of the cylinder

Cylinder Calculators

1. Compute the Lateral Surface Area (sides) of a Cylinder based on height and radius.
2. Compute the Total Surface Area of a Cylinder including the sides, top and bottom.
3. Compute the Volume of a Cylinder based on cylinder height and radius
4. Compute the Height of a Cylinder based on the volume and radius.
5. Compute the Radius of a Cylinder based on the volume and height.
6. Compute the Mass or Weight of a Cylinder  based on the volume and mean density of the cylinder.  
7. Compute the Density of a cylinder.
8. Time to Drain a Cylinder based on Torricelli's Law of gravity flow of water.
9. Compute the Lateral Surface Area of a Slanted Cylinder.
10. Compute the Volume of a Slanted Cylinder.
11. Compute the Weight or Mass of a Slanted Cylinder.
12. Compute the moment of inertia of a cylinder shaped object based around the central axis
13. Compute the moment of inertia of a  cylinder shaped object around the end of the cylinder
14. Compute the moment of inertia of a  cylinder shaped object perpendicular to the central axis.
15. Look up the mean density of common substances (useful in calculating the mass/weight and the moments of inertia)
