Weight Formula: for rectangular bar
Dimensions:
Length (X-axis) = 100 mm
Width (Y-axis) = 70 mm
Height (Z-axis) = 60 mm
Material: SS304 (stainless steel) -
Volume Calculation:
1. Formula: Volume (V) = L x W x H
2. Calculation: V = 100 mm x 70 mm x 60 mm = 420,000 mm³
Unit - (cubic millimetres)
Weight Calculation:
1. Unit Conversion: cubic millimetres (mm³) to cubic meters (m³) because the density
is in kg/m³.
o Conversion factor: 1 m³ = 1,000,000,000 mm³
o Volume (V) = 420,000 mm³ / 1,000,000,000 mm³/m³ = 0.00042 m³
2. Formula: Weight (W) = Density (ρ) x Volume (V)
3. Calculation: W = 7900 kg/m³ x 0.00042 m³ ≈ 3.318 kg (kilograms)
Area and perimeter of a rectangular bar with the given
dimensions:
Dimensions:
Length (L) = 100 mm (millimetres)
Width (W) = 70 mm (millimetres)
Height (H) = 60 mm (millimetres)
Area:
Formula: Area (A) = Length (L) x Width (W)
Units: Area (mm²) since both length and width are in millimetres.
Calculation: A = 100 mm x 70 mm = 7000 mm²
Perimeter:
Formula: Perimeter (P) = 2 (Length (L) + Width (W))
Units: Perimeter (mm) since both length and width are in millimetres.
Calculation: P = 2 (100 mm + 70 mm) = 2 (170 mm) = 340 mm
Width:
Formula: width (W) = Area (A) / Length (L)
Unit: mm²
Calculation: W = 7000 mm² / 100 mm = 70 mm
For solid & hollow circular bar
1. Solid Circular Bar:
Dimensions:
Diameter (OD) = 50 mm
Length (L) = 100 mm
Material: SS304 (stainless steel)
1. Volume Calculation:
Radius (r) = Diameter (OD) / 2 = 50 mm / 2 = 25 mm
Formula: Volume (V) of cylinder = π x Radius² (r²) x Height (L)
4fExample: - Steel cube: 10 mm x 10 mm x 10 mm (volume) = 1000 mm³
Convert volume: 1000 mm³ / (1,000,000 mm³/m³) = 0.000001 m³
Steel density: 7850 kg/m³
Weight: 0.000001 m³ * 7850 kg/m³ = 0.00785 kg
Volume (V) = π x (0.025 m) ² x (0.1 m) ≈ 0.001963 m³ (assuming π ≈ 3.14)
2. Weight Calculation:
Unit conversion for volume is not needed (remains in cubic meters).
Formula: Weight (W) = Density (ρ) x Volume (V)
Calculation: Weight (W) = 7900 kg/m³ x 0.001963 m³ ≈ 0.0155 kg (kilograms)
2. Hollow Circular Bar:
Dimensions:
Outer Diameter (OD) = 80 mm
Inner Diameter (ID) = 50 mm
Length (L) = 100 mm
Material: SS304 (stainless steel)
1. Volume Calculation:
Outer radius (r_out) = Outer Diameter (OD) / 2 = 40 mm
Inner radius (r_in) = Inner Diameter (ID) / 2 = 25 mm
Formula: Volume (V) = π x (r_out²) x L - π x (r_in²) x L
Volume (V) = π x (0.04 m) ² x (0.1 m) - π x (0.025 m) ² x (0.1 m) ≈ 0.000942
m³ (assuming π ≈ 3.14)
2. Weight Calculation:
Unit conversion for volume is not needed (remains in cubic meters).
Formula: Weight (W) = Density (ρ) x Volume (V)
Calculation: Weight (W) = 7900 kg/m³ x 0.000942 m³ ≈ 0.0074 kg (kilograms)
