Que17. How to calculate unit weight of steel bars?

Ans :

Formula, d2/162

Where, d = Diameter of bar.

We know, weight = volume × density (Density of steel = 7850 kg/m3 )

                                  = Area × Length × Density (volume = Area × Length)

                                 =π/4 xd^2×LxD=(3⋅1.4)/4 xd^2×1000x 7850/(1000×1000×1000)

= d^2/162

                                =(0⋅785xⅆ^2×7850)/(10OD×1000) =d^2/1 x 0.00616225/100000000 =d^2/(1/0.0061225) =d^2/(162⋅25)

L = Length of steel. & D = density of steel.
