Weight per Square Foot Formula
The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Weight per Square Foot.
WSF = W / A
Variables:
- WSF is the Weight per Square Foot (lbs/ft^2)
- W is the total weight (lbs)
- A is the total area (ft^2)
How to Calculate Weight per Square Foot?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Weight per Square Foot.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the total weight (lbs).
- The total weight (lbs) is given as:: 300.
- Next, determine the total area (ft^2).
- The total area (ft^2) is provided as: 10.
- Finally, calculate the Weight per Square Foot using the equation above:
WSF = W / A
The values provided above are inserted into the equation below and computed.
WSF = 300 / 10 = 30.00 (lbs/ft^2)
Example Problem #2:
For this problem, the variables required are provided below:
total weight (lbs) = 200
total area (ft^2) = 20
Test your knowledge and check your answer with the calculator..
WSF = W / A = ?
