It depends on the material and the treatment of material that the plys are made of, the thickness of the plywood, the quality of the plys, the number of plys, and the force being exerted on it; tensil, sheer, compressive, flexural

How much does treated plywood weigh?

It depends what the "ply" value is ... the number of layers glued together. For instance, 1/2" plywood is going to be lighter then 3/4" plywood. A common rule of thumb is a 4x8 foot sheet of 1/4" fir plywood weighs 25 pounds. There are 32 square feet in a sheet, so a square foot of 1/4" fir plywood weighs about 0.78 pounds. Since 1/2" is twice as thick as 1/4", 1/2" fir plywood weighs twice as much, or 1.56 lbs, and 3/4" three times as much, or about 2.34 lbs. Fir plywood is common, but other species are available. Weight varies considerably between species of wood, so be aware the weight of plywood of different species can be different.

What is the difference between a point load and a uniform ally distributed load?

Lets say you have a 1 foot by 1 foot piece of plywood. Lets also say that your feet are 12 inches long and when both feet are together are 12 inches wide. Now if you stood on the plywood with both feet you would be distributing your weight over the entire 1 foot by 1 foot area (distributed loading). If you took the same piece of plywood and were able to apply all your weight through your finger and placed that somewhere in the plywood, that point would be loaded at that single point (point loading).
