Now, let us consider a water tank of the diameter D= 5m. and height H = 3m. as shown in the image.

| Circular water tank |
Given data:
Diameter = D = 5m.
Height = H = 3m.
To calculate the capacity, first, we have to calculate the volume of the water tank.
The volume of the tank
=[ π × ( D2/4 ) × H]
= [3.142 × ( 52/4) × 3]
= [3.142 × 6.25 × 3]
= 58.91 CUM.
As you know, 1cubic meter = 1000 liters
The capacity of the water tank in liters
= [58.91CUM × 1000]
= 58, 912 liters.
Now, converting it into gallons,
1 US gallon = 3.7854 liters.
The capacity of the water tank in gallons
= [58,912 liters ÷ 3.7854]
= 15,563 gallons.
= 15,563 gallons.
