how do i find how long the steel is in a 156 kg coil of sheet steel that is .80 mm thick and 50 cm wide.
Use density.
volume= Length*thickness*width
mass= density*volume
156kg=densitysteel*length*thickness*width
length= 156kg/(density*thickness*width)
look up density of steel. Watch units. thickenss is in mm,width is in cm, density will be in whateverunits.
To find the length of the steel in the coil, you need to use the formula:
Length = (Weight / (Thickness × Width)) × 1000
Here's how to calculate it step by step:
Step 1: Convert the thickness to meters:
0.80 mm = 0.80 × 0.001 = 0.0008 meters
Step 2: Convert the width to meters:
50 cm = 50 × 0.01 = 0.5 meters
Step 3: Calculate the length:
Length = (156 kg / (0.0008 m × 0.5 m)) × 1000
Now let's plug in the values and solve the equation:
Length = (156 / (0.0008 × 0.5)) × 1000
Length = (156 / 0.0004) × 1000
Length = 390,000 meters
Therefore, the length of the steel in the coil is 390,000 meters.
