what is the water capacity of a 8ft(round) x 2ft (depth) round pool in litres? so i can add chlorine.?

Answer 1

First, as you want the volume in litres, convert the units of measurements to metric.

8ft (I'm presuming that's width, ie: diameter) = (8 x 12) x 25.41mm = 2439.36mm diameter

2ft deep = (2 x 12) x 25.41mm = 609.84mm deep.

Calculate the volume (capacity) of the pool by multiplying the area of the pool by its depth. The area is:

pi x ((d/2)^2)
= 3.14 x ((2,439.36/2)^2)
= 3.14 x 1,487,619.3
= 4,673,493.9 sqmm

So the capacity of the pool is:
area x depth
= 4,673,493.9 x 609.8
= 2,849,896,580.22 mm cubed.

1 litre is equivalent to 1,000,000mm cubed. So to convert that into litres, divide that figure by 1,000,000.

= 2,849,896,580.22 / 1,000,000
= 2,849.9 litres.

Answer 2

If the diameter is 8ft and the depth is 2ft, first convert these to centimetres and find the area of the circle multiplied by the depth in cubic centimetres. 1 litre = 1000 cubic centimetres, so divide by 1000 to have the answer in litres. 8 feet = 243.84 centimeters the radius is half that = 121.92 cm 2 feet = 60.96 cm pi * (121.92^2) * 60.96 = 2 846 719.91 So the answer is 2846.71991 litres or approximately 2850 litres. If you don't fill it to the brim, then allow, say 2500 litres.

Answer 3

To start, the basic formula for volume is base times height. For a cylinder, the base is a circle, so the area is pi times radius squared. In your case (assuming an 8 ft pool is 8 ft across the middle) pi x 4 squared (radius being 1/2 the diameter of 8) x 2 ft high will give you the volume in cubic feet. The calculation is 100.52 cubic feet. You will need a metric converter to get liters of 2846.41.

Answer 4

8ft diameter or circumference? It makes a difference?

Answer 5

8'dia= 4'radi=50.3 sq ft by 2' deep =100.6 cubic ft=about 2848 liters
