1 meter is equal to 3.28084 feet.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1 cubic meter is equal to 35.31467011 cubic feet.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "38.4 cubic meters are equal to 1356.083332 cubic feet.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "most references that i looked at put the weight of steel at a nominal 490 pounds per cubic feet plus or minus a few.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "38.4 cubic meters of steel will therefore weigh approximately 1356.083332 * 490 = 664,480 pounds.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "unless you have to be more specific, 490 pounds per cubic foot looks like a decent estimate.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if not, you'll have to so some more research to find a more accurate estimate based on the type of steel you are looking at.\r
