1. What is Volume of Cube in Litres?

Definition: This calculator computes the volume of a cube in litres based on its side length in centimeters.

Purpose: It helps in various applications like liquid storage, container sizing, and material volume calculations where cubic measurements are needed.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

\[ V_L = \frac{s³}{1000} \]

Where:

Explanation: The cube's volume in cubic centimeters is calculated (side × side × side) and then converted to litres by dividing by 1000 (since 1 litre = 1000 cm³).

3. Importance of Cube Volume Calculation

Details: Accurate volume calculation is essential for storage capacity planning, material requirements, and liquid measurements in containers.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Simply enter the side length of the cube in centimeters. The value must be > 0.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why divide by 1000?
A: Because 1 litre equals 1000 cubic centimeters (cm³). The division converts cm³ to litres.

Q2: Can I use meters instead of centimeters?
A: Yes, but you would need to multiply by 1000 instead (since 1 m³ = 1000 litres).

Q3: Does this work for rectangular prisms?
A: No, this is specifically for cubes (equal sides). For rectangular prisms, use length × width × height.

Q4: How accurate is this calculation?
A: Mathematically precise for perfect cubes. Real-world containers may have slight variations.

Q5: What's the largest cube this can calculate?
A: Theoretically unlimited, but practical limits depend on your computer's number handling.
