Teleporter Sugar beet bucket cu metres

[Billhook]

We have an old beet bucket I bought in 1978 but have adapted to fit the Matbro. 
It is 216 cm wide about a metre tall and a metre deep . If it was a box it would be about 2 cubic metres but it has many different angles.  I know that the answer would be to fill up some builders bags with logs but I was hoping that someone on here has already done a similar calculation or just knows the answer 

 

It would be useful for me to filter out the bits and pieces by shaking the bucket before loading

Divide one side in to calculable areas, work them out individually, add them together, and then multiply by the length.

Thanks for that,  I found this bucket advertised at 7’6” ( mine is 7 ‘) and it looks very similar and is 56 cu ft which is a tad over 1.5 cubic metres

You sound like my old maths teacher, the one that made me stand in the corner with the dunces hat on!

work out the square down the middle, then work out the triagles on either side.  or tip it on its back, put a tarp/sheet inside, fill with water and either measure the water in litres or weigh it.  1ltr = 1kg.

I will do some measurements together with my Bosch angle finder and ask you brainboxes to check my results.  I think I prefer filling it with a load of logs and emptying into builders bag method and then smaller bags of known volume

The maths is all well and good but if it’s a teleporter it might be like the tardis and open up to infinity on the inside. 
 

you could end up filling it with all your hard earned loggage and never get a full load. 
 

A bit like the overflowing porridge pot fable.

We need the area of the end of the bucket, if that can be made of a rectangle and a triangle (close enough) then well and good.

 

You shouldn't need the angle finder, the area of a triangle is half of base x height - so pick which edge is base and put tape measure straight up to the top corner.

 

If you can take a photo straight on the end, and measure one of the dimensions to get a scale, I can get you a pretty good answer from that.

No need to get technical in your calculations and over think things.

 

Square off the dimensions and measure as if it were a fish tank and half the result.

 

I would sarcastically suggest filling it with water but that may take a while :).

Have you been on the ale again??
