how would you figure how much displacement some round dowel bracing would take up?

first figure area:

A = pi*r^2

then multiply it by the length.

Say you have a 16 inch long piece of 1.5 inch diameter dowel rod.

A = 3.14 x .75^2

A= 1.77 sq inches

V=1.77 x 16

V= 28 cubic inches or .016 cubic feet
