How heavy is one 4 inch by 4 inch wide tungsten block?
The weight of a tungsten block can vary depending on its density. The density of tungsten is approximately 19.25 g/cm³.
To calculate the weight of a 4 inch by 4 inch by 1 inch tungsten block, we first need to convert the dimensions into centimeters.
4 inches = 10.16 cm
Next, calculate the volume of the block:
Volume = length x width x height
Volume = 10.16 cm x 10.16 cm x 2.54 cm
Volume ≈ 259.58 cm³
Now, calculate the weight of the block:
Weight = Volume x Density
Weight = 259.58 cm³ x 19.25 g/cm³
Weight ≈ 4994.79 grams
Therefore, the weight of a 4 inch by 4 inch by 1 inch tungsten block is approximately 4994.79 grams or 5 kilograms.
