SOLUTION: A piece of lead is 1 ft. in length and 1 in. square. The specific gravity (relation of weight to that of water) of lead is 11.01. Determine weight of lead piece. 11.01 * 62.4(

Question 1056952: A piece of lead is 1 ft. in length and 1 in. square. The specific gravity (relation of weight to that of water) of lead is 11.01. Determine weight of lead piece.
11.01 * 62.4(cu. ft. of water) = 687.024 lbs. per cu. ft.
0.0833 * 1 = 0.0833 cu. ft.
0.0833 * 687.024 = 57.22 = 57 lbs.
Where am I incorrect? Thanks.
