Weight to Length Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Weight to Length.
L = W/9.81/D/A
- Where L is the Weight to Length (m)
- W is the total weight (N)
- D is the density (kg/m^3)
- A is the cross-sectional area (m^2)
How to Calculate Weight to Length?
The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Weight to Length.
Example Problem #1
- First, determine the total weight (N).
- The total weight (N) is calculated to be : 500.
- Next, determine the density (kg/m^3).
- The density (kg/m^3) is measured to be: 3.
- Next, determine the cross-sectional area (m^2).
- The cross-sectional area (m^2) is found to be: 5.
- Finally, calculate the Weight to Length using the formula above:
L = W/9.81/D/A
The values provided above are inserted into the equation below and computed.
L = 500/9.81/3/5 = 3.397 (m)
Example Problem #2
The variables required for this problem are provided below:
total weight (N) = 600
density (kg/m^3) = 4
cross-sectional area (m^2) = 8
Test your knowledge using the equation and check your answer with the calculator.
L = W/9.81/D/A = (m)
