How to figure the displacement off oddly shaped things?


Recommended Posts

pi * radius squared is just for the area of a circle. you gotta multiply that by the length of the cylinder, then divide by 1728 to get it in cubic feet

and don't take the volume of the 45 in the port out of the box. that doesn't factor into bracing displacement

why doesn't that count towards bracing displacement?

What the f**k is an appropriate signature supposed to look like?

The piece of wood you cut wasn't a triangle itself, but when placed in a corner you are figuring the volume it took away from the box since that area is sealed off and not "useable" by the SW.

Edit: the triangle (triangular prism actually) is formed by the 90 degree corner and the surface that faces the inside of the box. That whole area is being displaced

Something else i found is if you use the line tool and draw a line at the terminator of your port on the bottom of the enclosure you can select just the bottom of the box minus all the extra junk that is in there and get the area of that. Then multiply times height / 1728 and you should have your total cuft. It won't work for every box design so you may have to use some common sense to make it work. But it will save you some math.

Fill it with water, then empty water into a measured container, like a 1 cubic foot box. Of course, that method isn't very practical for a wood box that isn't protected by resin and waterproof. This method works really well for figuring the volume of a really odd fiberglass molded shape.

in that box you posted i would draw a line across the end of the port from the inside corner of the port wall (where it starts in the box) to the other port wall. Then you can just select the bottom of the box and get the area.
