CUBIC CAPACITY

 It  is the volume swept by all the pistons inside the cylinders of an IC engines in a single movement from top TDC to BDC. It is commonly specified in cubic centimeters (cc)
It is commonly denoted as CC.You can see an engine mentioned as 2.0L or 3.5L;its nothing but the capacity of engine.2.0L means 2000cc and 3.5L means 3500cc.CC can be easily calculated from:
                 *BORE
                 *STROKE
                 *NO OF CYLINDERS


Bore is the inner area of the cylinder.
Stroke is the movement(area) swept by the piston.
                
             It is calculated by the formula:

                Displacement=pi/4*(Bore)(Bore)*(Stroke)*(No of cylinders)

Pi=3.14
