How much does the Empire State Building weigh?

Answer 1

Tonnes are not a unit of volume. Therefore the volume in tonnes of the Empire State Building (or of a ton of steel for that matter) does not exist. The volume is 37 million cubic feet or about 1.04 million cubic meters. (for an interesting volume comparison the volume of the ESB is about 6.54 million barrels of oil)

Answer 2

365,000 tons

*this is WRONG. 365,000 tons would be a WEIGHT. Mass * gravity = weight

Therefore, take weight 365, and divide by gravity which is 9.8m/s^2.

However, first you need to convert 365,000 tonnes to metric system.

While 1 ton is roughly equal to 907kg, this relationship is inadequate as weight and mass are not the samething.

** edit 2 - nope you are correct 365,000 tons seems to be a good approximation. * is wrong. A ton and a Tonne and a 1000 kg are all units of Mass and all almost the same. Weight is a force (the thing the ground under the building feels pushing down on it) and measured in N and is as stated: Mass * gravity = weight. So the mass of the building (the sum of all its atoms) will stay constant no matter where you build the building. The weight however will depend on which planet you build it on!

Mass on earth: 365,000,000 kg

Mass on Moon: 365,000,000 kg (still the same atoms)

weight on earth (approx): 365,000,000 * 10 Newtons

weight on moon: 365,000,000 * 1.6 Newtons (84% less!)
