Enter dimensions and density to see weight calculationand step-by-step results.

Understanding Cuboid Weight Calculation

Formulas Used

Vcm³= L × W × H (Volume in cubic centimeters)

Vm³= Vcm³÷ 1,000,000 (Volume in cubic meters)

Weight = Vm³× ρ (Weight in kilograms)

Common Material Densities

Wood:400-800 kg/m³

Aluminum:2,700 kg/m³

Steel:7,850 kg/m³

Concrete:2,400 kg/m³

Plastic (PVC):1,400 kg/m³

Glass:2,500 kg/m³

Copper:8,960 kg/m³

Water:1,000 kg/m³

Example Calculation

Given:Length = 50 cm, Width = 40 cm, Height = 30 cm, Density = 800 kg/m³

Solution:

Volume (cm³) = 50 × 40 × 30 = 60,000 cm³

Volume (m³) = 60,000 ÷ 1,000,000 = 0.06 m³

Weight = 0.06 × 800 = 48 kg

Applications

  • Engineering:Calculate requirements and structural loads
  • Manufacturing:Estimate product weights for shipping and handling
  • Construction:Determine concrete, steel, and material quantities
  • Packaging:Calculate weights and costs
  • Design:Optimize material usage and weight distribution
