Calculator and formulas for calculating a tricylinder (Steinmetz solid)
This function calculates the volume and surface area of a Steinmetz solid made up of three cylinders (tricylinder).
A tricylinder (Steinmetz solid) is a solid made up of three vertical circular cylinders whose axes intersect perpendicularly.
To perform the calculation, select the property you know and enter its value. Then click on 'Calculate' button.

Volume
\(\displaystyle V=(16 - 8\cdot \sqrt{2}) \cdot r^3\)
\(\displaystyle r= \sqrt[3]{\frac{V}{(16 - 8\cdot \sqrt{2}) }}\)
Surface \(\displaystyle S=3 \cdot (16 - 8\cdot \sqrt{2}) \cdot r^2 \) \(\displaystyle r= \sqrt{\frac{S}{(16 - 8\cdot \sqrt{2})}}\)
