getting the dispacement of a cylinder

How to get the displacement of a steam engine's cylinder

key:radius=the distance from one side of the cylinder to the other divided by 2. Height=the length from one end of the cylinder to the other. you will need a grafting calculator for this. These

measurments are from my D6, and are in cm.

Equasion= Volume=pi times radius squared times height.

Pi times .45 times .45=.6361725124

.6361725124 times 4=2.544690049 cubic cm

rounded equals about 2.54 cu. cm

this will also work for boilers, and anything cylindrical in shape.

Just fill the empty cylinder with water from a known measure, such as a syringe?
