What is the weight of a steel plate 15 ft. long, 4 ft. wide, and 5/8 inch thick, if the steel weights 475 lb./ft.^3?
the formula of to find weight is “m = rho V = rho abc”
“a = 15ft”, “b = 4ft”, 1 inch is equal to “frac{1}{12} ft:” “c = frac{1}{12}*frac{5}{8}=frac{5}{96}ft”
“rho = 475 frac{lb}{ft^3}”
“m = 15ft*4ft*frac{5}{96}ft*475frac{lb}{ft^3}=1,484.375lb”
