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
The weight of one foot of a three-quarter inch diameter steel bar will be approximately 1.42 pounds.
A steel plate of that size would weigh approximately 368 pounds.

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.
0.283 pounds per cubic inch
A quarter inch thick 4x8 sheet of steel weighs approximately 160 pounds.
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-inch steel plate can typically handle around 400-500 pounds of lateral pressure per square inch before yielding or deforming. However, the exact capacity can vary based on the grade of steel, the specific plate dimensions, and the nature of the load application. It is recommended to consult with a structural engineer for a precise analysis.
