How much does 2x8x12 weight?

Answer 1

If we know an object's volume and the weight density of the material of which it is made, we can calculate its weight. But to determine the object's volume, we must know more than its width and height (or depth). We must also know its length. Most standard two-by-fours are eight feet long, but the type of wood varies. Different woods have different weight densities, and some lumber isn't as dry as it should be. Moisture in the lumber increases its weight density. So, let's assume the 2x4 is eight feet long. A 2x4's actual dimensions are 1.5" x 3.5", so its volume is 1.5 x 3.5 x 96 = 504 cubic inches. Divide that by 123 to get 0.2917 cubic feet. The nearby link shows the weight densities of common lumber. Let's assume it's made of pine, which is pretty common. If we use the high end of the range, pine has a weight density of 34 pounds per cubic foot, so 0.2917 x 34 = 9.9167 pound = 158.7 ounces (4.499 kilograms), more or less, depending on the type of pine (Oregon, Parana, Canadian, Red) and the corresponding density. Density tables can be found at a number of sites such as simetric.co.uk, where various material densities can be found, including woods.

Answer 2

30 lbs

Answer 3

That would depend on what it was made of. 2 * 6 * 16 are the length, breadth and width of something and determine its VOLUME. However the same VOLUME of different substances weigh different amounts -- a standard cube of lead would weigh more than a standard cube of wood! The physical property that controls this is called a substances DENSITY.

Answer 4

Douglas fir weighs about 2.7 lbs per foot.

Answer 5

A 2 by 10 by 12 weighs about 28.8 pounds. This can fluctuate a bit depending on what kind of wood the 2 by 10 by 12 is made out of. It can be as light as 14 lbs., however.

Answer 6

A piece of lumber measuring 2x8x12 typically weighs around 20-25 pounds. However, the weight may vary depending on the type of wood and moisture content.

Answer 7

6 lbs

Answer 8

2x8x8
