The unit pounds per foot is a linear weight measurement, for a rod, tube, or beam of a known diameter or cross-section. Divide the total weight in pounds by the length of the sample.
Much more useful is the unit pounds per square foot(related to psi, pounds per square inch), which gives either bearing weight or pressure for a known mass when distributed over a given area.
