Specific Weight
Note:
The formulas used in this calculator are only valid for a gravitational acceleration equal to 9.80665 m/s2 (sea level)
Descriptions
- Specific Weight - Weight (or Mass) per unit volume of a given material. For a gravitational acceleration equal to 9.80665 m/s2 (sea level) the Specific Weight is equal to Specific Mass or Density
- P - Weight in kgf
- V - Volume in m3
- Specific weight (Density) in kg/m3
Instructions
- Select the type of calculation
- Click, optionally, the icon
and select the desired material (The value of Specific Weight will be automatically filled) - Fill in the blank fields with the values of the variables
- Click the "Calculate >>" button to see the result
- To convert the result, select a unit of measurement and click the "Convert >>" button
- To transfer the result to one of the temporary memories of WebCalc, select the memory and the type of operation and click on the "Transfer >>" button
- Click the "Print" button to open the impression page
- You can optionally set, in the configurations area, the maximum number of decimal places, the unit of measurement of length, the title and add comments to the print page
