Question 1056963: Ref. Question 1056592 Follow-up:
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.
0.0833 cu. ft. (volume of lead piece).
0.0833 * 62.4(cu. ft. of water weight) = 5.19 (equal volume of water).
5.19 * 11.01 = 57.14 lbs.
Not sure.

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.
0.0833 cu. ft. (volume of lead piece).
*********** that's not the volume. **********
=======================
0.0833 * 62.4(cu. ft. of water weight) = 5.19 (equal volume of water).
5.19 * 11.01 = 57.14 lbs.
