What is the weight of 1 meter steel admeasuring 100 mm x 100 mm x 14 mm?

Answer 1

Steel is technically an alloy - and as an alloy its composition and density varies greatly. The answer to your question varies greatly depending on which alloy you wish to calculate.

Search on-line for "Properties of Alloy Steel __InsertAlloy Designation__" This will help you find the properties of a given steel alloy - let's use AISI 4140 steel alloy which is a VERY common steel alloy used in the production of numerous auto parts, firearms, assembly line machines, etc...

A quick search reveals AISI 4140 Steel Alloy to have a density ranging between 7700 kg/m^3 to 8030 kg/m^3.

Since you're not trying to find the weight of one full cubic meter, we can do an easy conversion of these units. 100mm x 100mm x 14mm = 0.14 m^3 --- 0.14 Cubic Meters.

Now it's just a matter of mathematics. In order to find the weight (mass) of the steel we need to 'cancel' out the unit of cubic meters - multiply 7700 kg/m^3 X 0.14 m^3 - which cancels the cubic meters, and leaves you with a weight (mass) of 1078 kg.

That's ONE end of the weight spectrum - now we need to do the same for the 8030 kg/m^3 X 0.14 m^3 = 1124.2 kg.

SO, to answer your question - the weight of 1 meter of AISI 4140 Steel will be approximately between 1078 kg and 1124.2 kg.

Converted to 'English' measurement that would be somewhere between 2376.58 lbs to 2478.44 lbs.

Remember, it all depends upon the density of the whichever steel alloy you wish to calculate, and its respective density.
