This rock calculator helps you calculate the total weight of rocks needed for your project.
How to Use the Calculator
To use this rock mass calculator, enter the length, width, and depth of the area in meters along with the density of the rock in kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m3).
Steps:
- Enter the length of the area in meters.
- Enter the width of the area in meters.
- Enter the depth of the area in meters.
- Enter the density of the rock in kg/m3.
- Click the “Calculate” button.
How It Calculates
The calculator computes the mass of the rock using the formula:
Mass = Volume * DensityWhere:
- Volume is calculated as Length * Width * Depth
- Density is the given density of the rock (kg/m3)
The final result is presented in kilograms (kg).
Limitations
This calculator is designed for basic calculations only and assumes a uniform density and a regular rectangular shape for the volume of the rock. It does not account for irregularities in shape or variations in density within the rock mass.
