Hi, First of all apologies if the is posted in the wrong category (not sure if it should have been in geometry)
I use a spreadsheet which contains the following formula to calculate the volume of a liquid for a given level in a horizontal cylindrical tank.
what i would like to do is make D the subject to allow me to do the opposite and calculate the level for a given volume.
\(\displaystyle V=L(R^{2} cos^{-1}\bigg(\frac{R-D}{R}\bigg)-(R-D)\sqrt{2RD-D^{2}})\)
I jumped into this thinking i should be at least be able to make some progress but i just cant begin to understand how to untangle this.
Could someone give me some pointers if its possible (Mathway was unable to help)
Thanks
Anthony
