The reason is psychological.
"Tall and thin" to the mind is less than "short and fat".
This has been shown in experiments with children when a specific amount
of water is poured alternately into a "tall/thin" glass and then into a "short/fat"
glass and vice versa - even after being shown this many times, the children will still insist that the "short/fat" glass has more water in it.Why doesn't a 16.9 oz bottle look like it can hold its equivalent 30 cubic inches?
well this is true because 1 oz is 1.8 cubic inches so a 16.9 oz bottle holds 30.42 inches cubedWhy doesn't a 16.9 oz bottle look like it can hold its equivalent 30 cubic inches?
30.5 cubic inches is only 3.125^3. So a cube 3 %26amp; 1/8 inches on a size would hold 16.9 fluid ounces.
