How much volume does it to store a 120\' rope?

I know I have seen the answer on Treebuzz before but I can not find it right now. Here is the question. How much volume does it to store a 120' ,1/2" rope? I am looking into alternive rope bags, but need some info to compare the volumes. Thanks

Here's a formula that Don Blair included in his book 'Arborist Equipment'

Volume= circumference squared times length of rope in feet divided by 830

His example:

A 5/8 inch diameter rope has a circumference of 2 inches
600 feet of rope

two squared times 600 divided by 830 yields 2.89 cubic feet of space to store the rope.

Tino,

All you have to do is remember the formula for circumference of a circle...was that pi squared??? pi divided by radius??? No...pie, eaten...yummy

Nick, are you talking about the proverbial space between the lines?
