1 Another Way to Get the Answer Advanced Calculate the weight of a steel reinforcing bar (long cylinder) if length is 50 feet, the cross-sectional area is in 2 (Bar diameter is 1 inch.) The density of mild steel is either lb/in 3 (= 490 lb/ft 3 ). One way to get the answer, using the formulas V = A L and Weight = density x V Layout your calculations neatly, so you can review, track changes, correct or learn from them. One way of layout can look like this: 1 A o = in 2 2 A o = in 2 V = A L, new x 12 in/ft = 600 in 3 A o = in 2 4 V = A L, new x 12 in/ft = 600 in x 600 = 471 in 3 A o = in 2 V = A L, new x 12 in/ft = 600 in x 600 = 471 in 3 W = V density weight = volume x density 473 x = 135.6lb Calculate the weight of a steel reinforcing bar (long cylinder) if length is 50 feet, the cross-sectional area is in 2 (Bar diameter is 1 inch.) The density of mild steel is either lb/in 3 (= 490 lb/ft 3 ). Another way to get the answer, using the formulas V = A L and Weight = density x V 1. Identify that the weight of a steel cylinder is to be calculated. 2. Make a sketch of the cylinder: 3. Label the sides of the cylinder: Use either full words or can abbreviate. The idea is to visualize the problem before calculation. A o = in 2 OR Area of bar end = in 2 Length = 50 feet For now, don`t sketch or label the 1 inch diameter dimension mentioned in the brackets, it`s just there to help visualize the steel bar. The density amount is impossible to sketch, just leave it for now.
2 Look at the 2 formulas, there is one to calculate volume and one to calculate weight. The first formula is for volume. We need an answer for volume to be filled into the second formula. Volume of the cylinder must be calculated first: 4. Write the formula: A L = V 5. Re-write the formula: change all of the letters into words, according to their meaning: Area of cross section x length = volume of cylinder 6. Look at the units of measure for area and length. Length is feet, and area is based on inches. Recognize that all measurements have to be in the same unit. At this point, the area of in 2 will be converted to ft Recognize that the conversion factor to convert from in 2 to ft 2 is 144. It comes from 12 inches times 12 inches making 1 square foot, which 12 x 12 equals Recognize that when converting from smaller unit to bigger unit, that is from in 2 to ft 2, the conversion factor will be a divisor because many of the smaller units (in 2 ) are to be shared equally by groups of the bigger unit (ft 2 ). 9. Set up the problem: in 2 conversion factor = ft Calculate: = Take a pencil and write down A = or rebar cross-section = Write ft 2 after this number. 13. Decide that the converted cross sectional area of a single rebar is ft 2 Now the volume can be calculated: 14. Re-write the formula: change all of the words for actual given numbers: Leave out units of measure words. (eg. feet, cm) x 50 = volume of cylinder 14. Calculate. Use mental math, paper & pencil, or electronic calculator: x 50 = Take a pencil and write down V = or rebar volume = Look at the units of measure. ft 2 was multiplied with ft. The unit for volume is ft 3. Take a pencil and write ft 3 after the Decide that the correct way to write the answer is ft 3 Now the weight can be calculated: 18. Write the formula: V density = Weight 20. Re-write the formula: change all of the letters into words, according to their meaning: volume x density of steel = weight of steel bar 21. Re-write the formula: change all of the words for actual given numbers: Leave out units of measure words. (eg. feet, cm): 490 x = weight of steel bar 19. Calculate: 490 x = Take a pencil and write down Write lb after the number Now you`re done with the math. 22. The last step is to check your work: make sure everything was copied and written correctly then determine that the correct way to write the answer is lb We don`t think Vaughn can lift that. In addition, long and thin steel bars bend a lot, so even if he lifts in the middle, the ends will still be on the ground, making walking impossible.
3 Layout your calculations neatly, so you can review, track changes, correct or learn from them. One way a layout can look like is this: 1 A o = in 2 2 A o = in 2 V = A L, new A = = ft 2 3 A o = in 2 4 V = A L, new A = = ft x 50 = ft 3 A o = in 2 V = A L, new A = = ft x 50 = ft 3 W = V density weight = volume x density x 490 = 135.5lb
4 ADVANCED 1 This calculation is somewhat lengthy. Here is a way how you can make your very own formula for future reference to speed up calculations: In the animated calculation, the sequence of calculations were: We started with 50 This amount was: 1. multiplied by 12, 2. then the result was multiplied by 0.785, 3. then the result was multiplied by and we got lb It is possible to enter everything in the calculator in one line (on a calculator with a multi-line display): 50 x 12 x x = lb Now, we can make a formula by replacing the numbers we can with words, according to their meaning: length (feet) x 12 x area (in 2 ) x density (lb/in 3 ) = weight (lbs) Now we need to replace the words with letter symbols: L x 12 x A x D = weight Multiplications are interchangeable. We can re-arrange the letters a bit to make it easier to memorize: 12 L A D = weight Enter the amounts in your calculator in the order shown in this formula. Do you still get ? Meticulously compare this home-made formula with the next calculation`s formula. Note similarities and differences. Both formulas determine the weight of cylindrical steel objects in pounds. Why are they different? ANSWER: Similarities: Results are the same. That`s reassuring. Both calculations use length, area, density to end up with weight. Both calculations take the same number of steps. Differences: One calculation is based on in and has an in 2 to ft 2 conversion in it. The other is based on feet and has a ft to in conversion in it. The calculations use 2 different figures for density. This is why the formulas are different. One has a division, the other is all multiplications.
5 ADVANCED 2 (based on the second version) Calculating Weight Using Volume This calculation is somewhat lengthy. Here is a way how you can make your very own formula for future reference to speed up calculations: In the animated calculation, the sequence of calculations were: We started with This amount was: 1. divided by 144, 2. then the result was multiplied by 50, 3. then the result was multiplied by 490 and we got lb It is possible to enter everything in the calculator in one line (on a calculator with a multi-line display): x 50 x 490 = Now, we can make a formula by replacing the numbers we can with words, according to their meaning: area (in 2 ) 144 x length (feet) x density (lb/ft 3 ) = weight (lbs) Now we need to replace the words with letter symbols: A 144 x L x D = weight Multiplications are interchangeable. We can re-arrange the letters a bit to make it easier to memorize: L A D 144 = weight Enter the amounts in your calculator in the order shown in this formula. Do you still get ? Meticulously compare this home-made formula with the previous calculation`s formula. Both formulas determine the weight of cylindrical steel objects in pounds. Note similarities and differences. Why are they different? ANSWERS: Similarities: Results are the same. That`s reassuring. Both calculations use length, area, density to end up with weight. Both calculations take the same number of steps. Differences: One calculation is based on in and has an in 2 to ft 2 conversion in it. The other is based on feet and has a ft to in conversion in it. The calculations use 2 different figures for density. This is why the formulas are different. One has a division, the other is all multiplications.
6 ADVANCED 3 Print out and compare the volume of cylinder calculations in episodes 27 & 29. Volume of a cylinder was calculated by V = A h in the animated version of Episode 27 and V = A L in both versions of Episode 29. One includes height the other does not. One includes length the other does not. The formulas look different. But they are really not. 1. Why? Is there still a way that explains how these 2 different formulas are the same, consistent and valid? Look for clues in episode 09 & 26 ADVANCED. In Episode 27b the volume of the cylinder was calculated by the formula V = r 2 h, which looks totally different from either V = A h or V = A L Hmmm. Looks messed up. What`s going on? The volume of cylinders can be reliably and correctly calculated either way. 2. How is the longer cylinder formula V = r 2 h the same as V = A h? 3. Based on clues from Episode 20, area of circles, come up with another formula for calculating the volume of cylinders that`s based on diameter. 4. What if your cylinder is oblique, leaning at a 45 angle to the left? (As with a solid bar, end cut on an angle.) How would you calculate its volume? Write a formula to do that. ANSWERS: 1. Length and height are synonyms, interchangeable. Laid horizontally, the height of a cylinder becomes the length of the steel bar. 2. r 2 is replaced by the letter A 3. 2 examples are here: V = d2 π h or V = π 4 d2 h, but any of the 6 circle area formulas in 4 Episode 20 ADVANCED can be either before or after the multiplication by h. So that`s 12 possible volume of cylinder formulas. 4. Same formulas as above work. It doesn t matter how much the cylinder leans. Height is a perpendicular measurement between the 2 parallel circle bases.
7 ADVANCED PLUS Look at the final answers using different calculations There are some slight differences in the decimal digits. This is due to rounding from step to step. This rounding introduces a level of uncertainty into the calculations, undermining the degree of accuracy of the final answer. There are 3 ways to eliminate some of the rounded numbers. The decimals for area (0.785) and density (0.2836) are both already rounded amounts. 1. We can eliminate inaccuracy by using either whole numbers, 2. or unrounded & non-infinite decimals. 3. We can also enter more terms per calculation into the calculator without pressing the = button. The rebar with the A = in 2 actually is a 1 inch rebar. Its diameter, 1 inch, is a nice whole number. Given the 1 inch diameter rebar size, we can calculate a more accurate cross sectional area: Diameter = 1 inch, so radius = ½ inch A = r 2 so x = in 2 This new amount is more accurate than the in 2 The figure for density has also been rounded. We can calculate more accurate density: Mild steel density is 490 lb/ft 3, this is a whole number, the weight of mild steel for a cubic foot. Since there are 1728 in 3 in a ft 3, mild steel`s density is = lb/in 3 The figure lb/in 3 is more accurate than lb/in 3. For the most accurate result: replace the by entering x for area in the formula. also replace by entering for density in the formula. length (feet) x 12 x area (in 2 ) x density (lb/in 3 ) = weight (lbs) Now enter in your calculator: 50 x 12 x x x = lb This level of accuracy is important when you have hundreds or thousands of bars to calculate with. This is still a mathematical model of a rebar based on a smooth cylinder. Real rebars have ridges, which may add more weight to the calculated figure. Rebar can also be rusty or dirty, adding even more weight. There is a solution to all this puzzle. Manufacturers actually specify and publish the real weight of manufactured materials per foot length, eg: Imperial Bar Size Diameter (in) "Soft" Metric Size Weight per unit length (lb/ft) Mass per unit length (kg/m) Diameter (mm) Area(in 2 ) Area (mm 2 ) # # The manufacturer`s numbers are the best choice to work with. Weight = 50 feet x 2.67 lb/ft = lb
