560 TABLE XLIV. SOLID CONTENT OP CYLINDRICAL TREES, ETC. 



The fallowing Rules will meet any case that can occur, either 

 \vhen the^girth and length, or when the diameter and length, are 

 given to find the solid content. 



1. Given the girth and the length, both in feet. 



Multiply the square of the girth by the length, and the pro- 

 duct by .07958 ; the result is the content in cubic feet. 



Or, multiply the square of the girth by the length, and 

 divide the product by 12.5604 ; the quotient is the content 

 in cubic feet. 



2. Given the girth in inches, and the length in feet. 

 Multiply the square of the girth in inches by the length in 



feet, and the product by .000552622; the result is the 

 content in cubic feet. 



Or, multiply the square of the girth in inches, by the length 

 in feet, and divide the product by 1809.56; the quotient 

 is the content in cubic feet. 



3. Given the girth and the length, both in inches. 

 Multiply the square of the girth by the length, and the 



product by .000046052 ; the result is the content in cubic 

 feet. 



Or, multiply the square of the girth by the length, and 

 divide the product by 21714.69; the quotient is the con- 

 tent in cubic feet. 



NOTE. As the fractional part of the divisors in the last two 

 Rules bear but a small proportion to the integral part, 

 when great exactness is not required they maybe omitted. 

 It may be mentioned, that when two or more numbers 

 are to be multiplied into one another, any one of them 

 may be made the multiplier or the multiplicand that is 

 most convenient. . 



4. Given the diameter and the length, both in feet. 

 Multiply the square of the diameter by the length, and the 



product by .7854 ; the result is the content in cubic feet. 



Or, multiply the square of the diameter by the length, and 

 divide the product by 1.2732; the quotient is the content 

 in cubic feet. 



5. Given the diameter in inches, and the length in feet. 

 Multiply the square of the diameter in inches by the length 



in feet, and the product by .0054542; the result ,4s the 

 content in cubic feet. 



Or, multiply the square of the diameter in inches by the 

 length in feet, and divide the product by 183.35; the 

 quotient is the content in cubic feet.
