970 pounds EACH? I'm not buying it; the blocks would weigh 202 pounds per cubic foot and the concrete a block this big is made from only weighs 150 pounds per cubic foot. But set that aside.

This isn't a question you can get a real answer to, because I need to know how the wall is shaped. If you're building a straight wall, you'll need to build supporting structures because if you just throw a wall 30 feet high up it'll fall over in the slightest wind. If you're building a wall that encloses an area, the wall would be self-supporting.

Let's first calculate the number of blocks in one course. Multiply the length by 12 to get the inches, then divide by 32...or 1500.

Next is the height. The same formula gives us 22.5 blocks. Unless you plan to saw 750 blocks in half, the height will be 33 blocks or 30 feet 8 inches. The total will be 49,500 blocks.

And the weight is 48,015,000 pounds - not counting the mortar. That's 1200 truckloads.

How many 8x4x16 masonry block in a square foot?

A square foot is a flat, level, two dimensional space, equalling 144 sq inches. (1 sq ft =12 x 12 inches)The smallest face of each block is 8 x 4 (=32 sq ins).In theory you could put 4.5 of such blocks directly on an area that is as large as 144 sq ins (144/32 = 4.5), by standing them on their ends. However, this means splitting a block, and there is also no allowance for mortar to bond the blocks.So you can get four whole masonry blocks, on their ends, directly on to an area that measures 1 sq ft. In addition you can put another layer on top! So even though you only have 1 sq ft on which to place your blocks, you could stack them infinitely high! That's a lot of masonry blocks! However, the height will not actually be indefinite, ...as new courses of blocks are added, the lower blocks will eventually collapse uder the increasing weight of the massive tower of the blocks above!The height of the constuction, and consequently the actual number of blocks on the 1 sq ft, therefore, is constrained by the compression strength of the blocks!...but that is another matter!

How many blocks to build a retaining wall 21ft long and 3ft high?

Depends on the size of the block. However, an house brick is 9" x 3" x 4" So assuming the brick is laid 9" long and 3" high a single course of wall would require!!! 21 x 12 = 252 " Hence 252 / 9 = 28 bricks for the length & 9 x 12 = 108 " Hence 108 / 3 = 36 bricks in height Hence 36 x 28 = 1008 bricks is required!!!! If you wanted a double course wall (for support) that is 8 " wide. Then you need twice the number of bricks which is 2016 bricks.

The width of a wall is 22m and its height is 3.5m How many bricks of length 22cm and width is 7 cm can make a single wall?

Width = 22m Height = 3.5m --- Convert both of these into cm to convert into same units Width = 22 x 100 = 2200cm Height = 3.5 x 100 = 350cm Next find the area of the wall ---Area of rectangle = height x width Area of the wall = 2200 x 350 = 770,000 sq. cm Now for the bricks Length = 22cm Width = 7cm Area = 22 x 7 = 154 sq.cm To find the number of bricks needed we have to divide the area of the wall with the area of one brick 770,000 / 154 =5000 Therefore 5000 bricks are needed to make a single wall


What height do you have to be to go parachuting?

Static line parachuting takes place from around 4000ft. As you fall from the aircraft, the parachute opens automatically. To go skydiving (i.e. freefalling through the sky with a packed parachute on your back), you typically jump from between 10,000ft to 15,000ft. You can get up to 1 minute in freefall, or significantly longer with a wingsuit.
