Is a can of soda a sphere?
We take for granted that soda cans are cylindrical – the shape is easy to hold and the cans stack well on top of each other. After all, cylindrical cans don’t pack together as well as cube-shaped cans would, and they use more metal than spherical cans would.

How do soda cans work?
Carbonated beverages contain dissolved carbon-dioxide gas. When you tap on the can, you knock bubbles off the bottom and sides of the can, at which point they rise to the top (because gas is lighter than liquid) and there is only a small amount of liquid blocking their escape when you open the can.
What dimensions would you need to calculate how much soda is in a soda can?
Basically, the amount of soda will be the volume of soda, so we need to find the volume of a cylindrical figure (because the soda can is a cylinder). The volume of a cylinder is denoted by: V = πr²h, where r is the radius and h is the height. In other words, to find the volume, we must know the radius and height.
How much volume in a can?
To make a guess as to the volume, it may be easier to guess in cups rather than centimeters or inches. One may visualize that a 12 ounce soda can is about 1.5 cups. This is equivalent to 354.88 cubic centimeters or 21.656 cubic inches. A calulator such as the TI-85 may be used to find these conversions.
How many servings in a 2 liter bottle of soda?
A 2-liter bottle of soda will give 10 8-ounce servings, while beverages that come in gallon containers will yield 16 8-ounce servings. That comes out to four drinks per person during our three-hour party, which means we’ll need five bottles of soda or three gallons of juice or a mix of both to total 48 servings.
How many grams of sugar in a can of soda?
A single 12-ounce can of soda packs an average of 39 grams of sugar—that’s more than three times the amount you’d get in a Krispy Kreme glazed donut, and yet, we’re still drinking the stuff by the gallon.
What happens if you drink a can of soda?
A single can of soda has more sugar than you need in an entire day, and research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association suggests that a diet rich in sugar is linked to high levels of LDL, or “bad” cholesterol, and low levels of HDL, also known as “good” cholesterol.
How many sodas do you drink in a day?
