Mass Calculation
Calculates the volume based on the geometric shape and multiplies by the material density.
Mass = Volume × DensityVariables:

Steel Plate
Inputs:
Material:Steel
Shape:Plate
Length:1000 mm
Width:500 mm
Thickness:5 mm
Steps:
- 1.Vol = 1000 × 500 × 5 = 2,500,000 mm³
- 2.Density = 7.85 g/cm³ = 0.00785 g/mm³
- 3.Weight = 2.5M × 0.00785 = 19,625 g
- 4.Weight = 19.625 kg
Result:
19.625 kg
