Capsule Calculator

Calculate the volume and surface area of a capsule (cylinder with hemispherical ends). A capsule consists of a cylinder with radius $r$ and height $h$, with hemispheres of radius $r$ on both ends.

Capsule Formulas

A capsule is a cylinder with hemispherical ends. The formulas are:

Volume:

$V = πr²(\frac{4}{3}r + h)$

Surface Area:

$SA = 2πr(2r + h)$

Where $r$ is the radius and $h$ is the height of the cylindrical portion.
