Question #: 26
Topic #: 3
If a shipment has a gross weight of 500 pounds and overall dimensions of 42 inches x 48 inches x 48 inches, what is the density of the shipment (in pounds per cubic foot)?
To find the density of the shipment, we use the formula:
Density = Weight / Volume.
The volume of the shipment is calculated as (42/12) x (48/12) x (48/12) cubic feet. Thus, Volume = 56 cubic feet.
Density = 500 pounds / 56 cubic feet = 8.9 pounds per cubic foot.
This calculation shows the shipment's density as Option C. Reference: Basic principles of density calculation.
