A cubic foot is a measure of volume (size). A pound is a measure of weight. The amount of weight that can fit in 20 cubic feet is different for different things. For example, a box with a volume (size) of 20 cubic feet, filled with solid gold, would weigh more than a box with the same size but filled with feathers.
Weight and area units cannot be interconverted; there is no way to compare the two, even by using another property such as density.
How deep? Are you talking about dry mix weight or finished weight? Concrete weighs 150 pounds per cubic foot. So if you have a 6" slab, that's 150# for 2 square feet. For a 4" slab, the same amount will cover 3 square feet. For a 3" slab, 4 square feet. Concrete mix is commonly sold in 80 pound bags. The finished weight is the mix plus the water that gets chemically bound to it. There's a guide on the bag telling how many bags you need for a given area and thickness.
To calculate the outside diameter of a roll of carpet, you can use the following formula: Outside Diameter (in inches) = √[(Weight in pounds / (Width in feet x Length in feet)) * 32] In your case: Weight = 1000 pounds Width = 12 feet Length = 180 feet Outside Diameter (in inches) = √[(1000 / (12 x 180)) * 32] Outside Diameter ≈ √[(1000 / 2160) * 32] Outside Diameter ≈ √(0.1481 * 32) Outside Diameter ≈ √4.7392 Outside Diameter ≈ 2.18 inches So, the outside diameter of a 1000-pound roll of carpet that is 12 feet by 180 feet is approximately 2.18 inches.
Any object near the surface of the earth, falling without air resistance and under the influence of only gravity, falls 789 feet. (rounded) Its weight makes no difference.
You mean foot pounds, not feet per pound. Work = weight x distance = 500 x 60 =3000 foot - pounds
The work done is 50 foot-pounds (5 pounds x 10 feet = 50 foot-pounds). Work is calculated by multiplying the force exerted with the distance the force is applied over.
one pound of what? cubic feet is unit for volume and pound is unit for weight. So, cubic feet can only be calculated if you know the material and its density.
The foot is a unit of distance while the pound is a measure of weight. As such, one cannot convert from feet to pounds.
When an object is lifted 6 feet off the ground, its potential energy is a certain value based on its height and mass. If the same object is then lifted 12 feet off the ground, its potential energy will be doubled compared to when it was lifted 6 feet. This is because potential energy is directly proportional to the height to which the object is lifted.
No matter what the height of the person desiring to lose weight, the number of calories to burn off 1 pound is the same. One pound equals about 3500 calories.
The weight per 100 square feet coverage of the shingles.
The workers were heaving heavy crates onto the truck.
"cubit feet" is nonsense; there's no such measurement. "cubic feet" is a valid unit of measurement, but it's a volume measurement and cannot be converted into pounds, a weight measurement.
The work done in lifting the load of bricks can be calculated using the formula: work = force x distance. In this case, the force is the weight of the load (300 lbs) and the distance is the height it was lifted (60 feet). Therefore, the work done is 18,000 foot-pounds (300 lbs x 60 feet).
No. Force x Distance = Work done.
