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
