More on a roll of paper 2021-05-07
From Stephen:
Can you help with the equations to calculate the length of paper required to achieve a target outside diameter when wrapped around a core please?

The inside diameter of the cardboard core is 76mm
The thickness of the wall of the cardboard core is 5mm
The thickness of the paper is 138microns
The desired outside diameter of the finished roll is 320mm

I hope you can help me with a solution, Thank you

The amount of material remaining on a roll 2016-11-11
From Yoh:

Question from Yoh:

Hello,
I am trying to find impressions on a roll (either full roll or partial).
Let's say I have the following information.
- Outer Diameter of roll
- Inner Diameter of roll (cardboard core)
- thickness per layer
- Each cut off length (impression length)

Now let's say a roll has a 40in outer diameter, the cardboard core has a 3.75in diameter and a thickness of .002. Each impression has a cut off of 14inches.
With this the roll will have approximately 2,700 impressions. How would I find the remaining impressions if the outer diameter of the roll is only 6.5inches?

Thank you.

How many labels are left on a roll? 2010-08-13
From Melissa:
Is there a simple way to calculate how many labels are left on a roll? I thought there was a way to look at the individual label length, the label thickness and the core diameter and then measure the overall diameter to calculate how many pieces were left, but I'm struggling. I've seen a tool before- I thought we called it a circle calculator, but those parameters were all that I needed to input to spit out the correct count. I never saw what was behind the scenes for this calculation. Ie factoring in revolutions or the number of pieces on each layer, etc. Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!

A roll of paper 2009-07-05
From mark:
is there a simple way of finding out how much is left on a roll of paper. i have read similiar questions and answers on here but all seem very complicated and not being very good at maths does not help me much. some are in inches and all have different figures to mine so if i give my figures hopefully i wil understand it better. the radius of the cardboard core is 52.25mm, the radius of the paper at 2000 linear meters is 158.625mm. the thickness is 0.17mm. when nearing the end of the paper how do i work out how much is left in a simple way. thank you in advance for any help you can give me

Winding paper after a break 2009-04-10
From Olen:
Question from Olen:

I work in a paper mill and have been handed the task to search for a formula to determine how much paper needs to be added to a parent roll to make up the difference at the winder. (Ex. The spool diameter at the reel is 18.25" we measure roughly 33.5" to make two 58" rolls in the winder. If the is a paper break and the roll diameter in the winder is 30" how much do I add to a single parent roll (22" roughly) to make one 58 " and the 28" needed at the winder. I would appreciate any help to complete this task. I would like to be able to build a chart that operators can refer to based on what is needed. Thank you.

A conical cup 2007-10-18
From Nicholas:
Water is leaking out of a small hole at the tip of a conical paper cup at the rate of 1cm^3/min. The cup has height 8cm and radius 6cm, and is initially full up to the top. Find the rate of change of the height of water in the cup when the cup just begins to leak. Since V= (pi/3)r^2h, how do I eliminate a variable or change the equation so I that I can answer the question? Thanks.

Dots on squared paper 2001-03-30
From Tom:
Consider some squared paper with lines 1cm. apart and dots where the lines cross. Place squares whose sides are whole numbers of centimetres on the paper in such a way that the sides of the squares always lie along the lines on the paper. For each square, find (a)the number of points inside the squares; (b)the number of points on the square and (c)the area of the square. How are these quantities related?
