Steel rod weight per inch.... this depends on the thickness and shape of the steel rod.

The density of steel is around 500 pounds per cubit foot, so, for example:

If the rod is cylindrical and has a diameter of 1/2 inch, each "inch" of the rod is a cylinder with length L=1. The volume of this cylinder is found with pi*r^2*L.

Since diameter = .5in, radius = .25in.

pi*.25^2*1 = about .2in^3 or 1/5 cubic inch.

Now, a cubic inch is about 5.8*10^-4 cubic feet, so...

500lb/ft^3 * 5.8*10^-4 in^3/ft^3 = .28935 pounds per cubic inch.

We have one fifth cubic inch, so multiply that by .2...

and each inch of our rod weighs .05787 pounds, which is pretty much 3/50 pounds.

Coincidentally, 3/50 of a pound is just about an ounce, so our cylindrical steel rod of diameter 1/2 inch pretty much weighs one ounce per inch!
