Best Answer

you need to know the desnsity of the material (grams per cubic centimeter or pounds per cubic inch). Then multiply density times area times thickness to get weight with proper units. Weight = density x volume

What will be the Flow rate if pressure and area given of pipe?

You would still need the coefficient of friction for the type of pipe in order to calculate flow.


How do you calculate the weight of a round steel rod?

To calculate the weight of a length of steel rod, you require two other pieces of information:densityradiusThe density of mild steel is 7850 kg/m3 however alloy steels can have densities of up to 8050 kg/m3To calculate the weight of the steel rod, you must first calculate it's mass.Mass = Density x VolumeCross sectional Area (CSA) = pi x radius2Volume = length x CSAThe weight of the bar is equal to it's mass multiplied by gravitational acceleration (g).Therefore the weight of the bar of length L equals:Weight = g x density x pi x radius2 x LWhere:Weight (N)g = 9.82 ms-2density = 7850 to 8050 kg/m3radius (m)L = length (m)


Why I-beam's are preferable over rectangular beam's?

You just take an example as rect section with A=17.6*10=176 mm2 and your I section too has same area of 176 mm2. Calculate moment of inertia of rectangular section I = bd3/12 = 1466.66 mm4 For I section, Width of both flange = 20 mm, thickness of both flange = 4 mm, web length=16 mm, web thickness = 4mm. This gives you the same area A=176 mm2 Now Calculate moment of inertia of I section I =8938 mm4 (Do it from any online converter or by calculations) Now compare both Moment of inertia, I section has approx six times better moment of inertia as compared to rectangular section. Put up this moment of inertia values in deflection and bending stress equations and try to compare both. This is because the material is put up in such a way to get maximum moment of inertia with minimum material and min weight. Finally this is the reason why I beams are preferable over rectangular beams Once Put up this moment of inertia values in deflection and bending stress equations and try to compare both. you will get it in sec

Weight of polypropylene sheets?

The weight of polypropylene sheets depends on their length, width and thickness.


How do you calculate the area of a 250 mm circle having a thickness of 20 mm?

I think you are asking how do you calculate the VOLUME of a disk 250mm with a thickness of 20 mm. If that is so, then find the area of the circle using the Area = pi times radius squared formula and then multiply by the thickness to get cubic millimeters volume.


What is the weight of 1 square foot of carbon fiber?

That would also depend on its thickness. In general, for any given material, the mass (and therefore the weight) depends not on its surface area, but on its total volume.


How do you get the weight of soil in an area?

Estimate the thickness of the soil over the area (test pits will help with this) - measure the average density of the soil (out of the test pits). You then have:- The "area" tiles the "thickness" = the volume of soil. Volume times density = weight.


How do you calculate warehouse area from volume?
