Rock Weight and Volume Calculator

How to calculate the weight and volume of a rock? scroll below to use the Rock Weight and Volume Calculator. Enter your rock’s measurements into the calculator to get the results.

What Are Rock Weight and Volume?

Rock Weight and Volume refer to the mass and space occupied by a rock, respectively. These metrics are crucial for construction, landscaping, and geological studies.

How to Use the Calculator

To use the calculator is straightforward. Follow these steps:

1. Enter Length: Input the rock’s length. For example, if the length is 5 meters, enter 5.
2. Enter Width: Input the rock’s width. For instance, if the width is 3 meters, enter 3.
3. Enter Depth: Input the rock’s depth. If the depth is 2 meters, enter 2.
4. Enter Density: Input the density of the rock. For example, if the density is 1600 kg/m³, enter 1600.
5. Select Unit System: Choose between metric (m, kg/m³) or imperial (ft, lbs/ft³).

Formula and Variables

The calculator uses the following formula:

$\text{Weight}=\text{Volume}\times \text{Density}$

Variables:

Calculation Examples

Let’s look at two examples to understand the calculations:

Example 1: Metric System

• Length: 5 meters
• Width: 3 meters
• Depth: 2 meters
• Density: 1600 kg/m³

Calculation:

1. Volume:  $5\times 3\times 2=\mathrm{30 }$cubic meters
2. Weight: $30\times 1600=\mathrm{48000 }$kilograms

Result: The volume is 30 m³ and the weight is 48000 kg.

Example 2: Imperial System

• Length: 10 feet
• Width: 6 feet
• Depth: 4 inches (convert to feet:  $4\mathrm{/}12=0.33$
• Density: 100 lbs/ft³

Calculation:

1. Volume:
   $10\times 6\times 0.33=\mathrm{19.8 }$cubic feet
2. Weight:
   $19.8\times 100=\mathrm{1980 }$pounds

Result: The volume is 19.8 ft³ and the weight is 1980 lbs.
