What is the weight of 1M x 1M x1MM thick aluminium?

Answer 1

To find the weight of the aluminium, we need 2 things. The density and volume. You've given the dimensions of the aluminium so we can easily find the volume. We just need the density. According to wikipedia's article on aluminium, the density of aluminium at room temperature is 2.70gcm-3

So all that's left to find is the volume.

Firstly, convert everything into cm. Therefore, we can rewrite your dimensions as 100cm x 100cm x 0.1cm.

100cm x 100cm x 0.1cm = 1000cm3

So 1000cm3 is our volume

Now that we know the volume of the aluminium, we can multiply it by the density. So:

1000cm3 x 2.70gcm-3 = 2700g or 2.7kg

NOTE: The density of aluminium can vary depending on the type of aluminium you are talking about and hence affect the weight. I took wikipedia's value. It could be slightly different if you are say for example referring to aluminium foil.

Hope that helps.
