About Specific Weight Calculator (Formula)
The specific weight of a substance is a measure of its weight per unit volume. It is typically expressed in units like pounds per cubic foot (lbs/ft³). The formula to calculate specific weight is:
Specific Weight (lbs/ft³) = Weight (lbs) / Volume (ft³)
Where:
- Weight (lbs) is the total weight of the substance in pounds.
- Volume (ft³) is the total volume of the substance in cubic feet.
To use this formula in a specific weight calculator, you would input the weight and volume values, and then apply the formula to calculate the specific weight. The resulting value will tell you how many pounds of the substance are contained within each cubic foot of volume.
