What happened to the answer to my question?
That depends... on the composition of the steel !
what is the weight per cubic inch of W50 steel
3.14159 x radius squared x thickness x .283 (weight of 1 cubic inch of steel)
The volume of the plate is (0.5 x 20 x 45) = 450 cubic inchesThe weight is (450) x (0.28) = 126 pounds
A quarter of an inch = 0.635 cm

It depends on the type of steel

Steel is an alloy - a mixture of various metals - and so its density depends on the proportion of the constituents in the alloy. The weight (not mass) varies between 9.0 and 9.3 pounds weight per cubic inch.

The density of steel varies, but if we assume it's 7.9 grams per cubic centimeter, then the weight of a 12" x 12" x 1/4" chunk can be calculated. There are 36 cubic inches in the chunk of steel (multiply the dimensions together), and there are about 16.387064 cubic centimeters in a cubic inch. That means there are about 573.54724 cubic centimeters in 36 cubic inches. At 7.9 grams per cubic centimeter, there are about 4531.023 grams of steel in 36 cubic inches of this alloy of iron. There are about 4531.023 grams or 4.53 kilograms, or about 9.989 (almost 10) pounds of steel in your twelve by twelve by one quarter piece. The answer in English units is 1 square foot of 1 inch steel weighs 40.8 pounds. take length times width in feet times the thickness in inches times 40.8 to find the weight. In answer to your question the weight would be 10.2 lbs. 1' * 1' *.250*40.8
