The density of aluminum is 2.7 g/cm3, so in doing the math, assuming the sheet is 42' x 8' x 1/4", the volume is 12096 cubic inches, or 198,217.93 cubic centimeters. The weight would be 535.188411 kg, or 1177.4 pounds.

To calculate the weight of the sheet metal, first calculate the area: 42 ft x 8 ft = 336 sq ft. Next, convert the thickness to feet: 1/4 inch = 0.02083 ft. Then, calculate the volume: 336 sq ft x 0.02083 ft = 7.01 cubic feet. Finally, multiply the volume by the density of the sheet metal (usually around 0.286 lbs per cubic inch for steel) to find the weight.

How much does a metal sheet 6 feet by 4 feet by three eights inches thick weigh?

Depends on the metal, doesn't it? Aluminum is 0.098 lb/in^3, so your sheet is 72 in X 48 in X .375 in, or 1296 in^3, so that's 127 pounds. On the other hand, steel is on the order of 0.283 lb/in^3 (steel varies by kind, so this is just an example), so your sheet would weigh 367 pounds.

How many 8x4 plasterboards make a ton?

The weight of a sheet of drywall depends with its thickness. For instance the standard 1.27 cm thick sheet of drywall measuring 4'x8' will weigh approximately 26 kilograms while ultra light Panel will weigh 6 kilograms less, for a total of 20 kilograms. A 4x8 sheet of drywall that is 1/2 inch thick weighs 54 pounds. A 4x8 sheet that is 5/8 inch thick weighs about 70 pounds. The weights given are for standard drywall. 2000/54= 37 sheets 2000/70=28.5 sheets 29 would be just over a ton.
