Hi

New here so was wondering if anyone can help me with a formula I have now had to start using regularly. It's a bit beyond my excel capabilities. It is for calculating the volume liquid in part of a cylinder lying on its side

Where R is the cylinder radius
D is the depth of liquid
L is the horizontal length of the cylinder

The cos-1 is in radians


Volume = L(R2cos-1(R-D/R)-(R-D)Root 2RD-D2)

I can't get a square root symbol and squared on here but I am sure you will all know what I mean

Thanks
Derek
