My questions pertains to the volume of a cylinder. Specifically, the 'cylinder' in question is a powder dispensing slide for a progressive reloader.
The volume of the slide is 4. I want to increase that value by 25% to 5.
The depth ( or height ) is non adjustable.
My only option is to increase the diameter.
I don't have math keys on the keyboard so I will need to use words rather than symbols.
If the existing diameter is known and designated as D sub-1, and the desired diameter is designated as D sub-2, then I THINK the formula for increasing the volume of the slide by 25% would be expressed as:
D sub-2= square root of (1.25 X D sub 1 squared)
The existing powder slide charge bar dispenses 4.0 grains of Bullseye. I want to increase the volume to load 5.0 grains.
What is the formula for increasing a known volume of a cylinder by 25% by only changing the diameter?
Thanks,
salty.
