Barbed Wire Weight Calculator:
Enter the values of length of the wire, L(m) and weight, W(g) to determine the value of Weight of barbed wire, BW(g).
Barbed Wire Weight Formula:
The physics of barbed wire weight involves understanding how the mass and dimensions of the wire, combined with its density, determine its overall weight. Barbed wire is made of steel, a dense material, which contributes to its significant weight per unit length.
The wire is typically manufactured with sharp barbs at regular intervals, adding to its mass. The total weight of the barbed wire is directly proportional to its length and the density of the material from which it is made.
As the length of the wire increases, so does the total weight, because each additional meter of wire adds more mass. The density of the steel, usually expressed in grams per cubic centimetre, plays a crucial role in determining the mass of a given volume of wire.
The gauge (thickness) of the wire also impacts the weight; thicker wires have more mass per unit length compared to thinner ones.
Weight of barbed wire, BW(g) in grams involves multiplying the length of the wire, L(m) in metres by its weight, W(g) in grams per unit length, L(m) accounting for the density and dimensions of the wire.
Weight of barbed wire, BW(g) = W(g) / L(m) * L(m)
BW(g) = weight of barbed wire in grams, g.
W(g) = weight in grams, g.
L(m) = length in metres, m.
Barbed Wire Weight Calculation:
- A barbed wire weighs 5000 grams and is 250 meters long. Calculate the weight per unit length.
Given: W(g) = 5000g, L(m) = 250m.
Weight of barbed wire, BW(g) = W(g) / L(m) * L(m)
BW(g) = 5000 / 250 * 250
BW(g) = 5000g.
- If a roll of barbed wire weighs 4800 grams and the weight per meter is 30 grams, calculate the total length of the wire.
Given: W(g) = 4800g, BW(g) = 30g.
Weight of barbed wire, BW(g) = W(g) / L(m) * L(m)
L(m) = W(g) / BW(g)
L(m) = 4800 / 30
L(m) = 160m.
