Weight Calculation of a Workpiece

It is important to determine the weight (m) of the workpiece to continue with additional calculations. It is calculated based on the following formula:

m = L × B × H × ρ

m = Weight [kg]
L = Length [m]
B = Width [m]
H = Height [m]
ρ = Density [kg/m3]

Our example:
m = 2.5 m × 1.25 m × 0.0025 m × 7,850 kg/m3
m = 61.33 kg
