The engine in a car has eight cylinders. Each cylinder is a right cylinder with a diameter of 3.032 inches and a height of 6 inches. Find the total displacement (volume) of this engine.

Answer 1

The volume of one cylinder is:

V = πr^2h

where r is the radius (half of the diameter) and h is the height.

r = 3.032/2 = 1.516 inches

V = π(1.516)^2(6) = 42.97 cubic inches

The total displacement of the engine is:

8 cylinders x 42.97 in^3/cylinder = 343.76 in^3

Therefore, the total displacement of the engine is 343.76 cubic inches.
