Capsule volume
Capsules are a common form of medication, and knowing the volume of a capsule is important for determining dosage. The formula for finding the volume of a capsule is:
V = \pi r^2 (\dfrac{4}{3}r + h)
where V is the volume, r is the radius of the circular end of the capsule, and h is the height of the capsule.
How to Use the Capsule Volume Calculator
Our capsule volume calculator makes it easy to find the volume of your capsule. To use the calculator:
- Enter the radius (r) of the circular end of the capsule in the first box.
- Enter the height (h) of the capsule in the second box.
- The calculator will automatically calculate the volume of your capsule.
Capsule Volume Examples
Here are some examples of finding the volume of a capsule using the formula:
Example 1: Find the volume of a capsule with a radius of 0.5 cm and a height of 1.5 cm.
V = π(0.5)²(1.5) + 4/3π(0.5)³
V = 1.1781 cm³
Example 2: Find the volume of a capsule with a radius of 1 cm and a height of 2 cm.
V = π(1)²(2) + 4/3π(1)³
V = 12.5664 cm³
