Height of liquid in a horizontal cylinder

[QUOTE="Mark44, post: 6164143, member: 147785"] I don't think it's possible. Assuming the cylindrical tank is lying so that its axis is horizontal, the relationship between the height of a liquid in the tank and the volume of the liquid is fairly complex. Calculating the volume from a known liquid height and the dimensions of the tank typically requires the use of calculus, which only a small fraction of high school students study. Determining the height when the volume is known can by done numerically to as much precision as is required by plugging in a guessed value for the height and using it to calculate the volume. By adjusting the input height, you can get closer and closer to the known value of the volume. [/QUOTE]
