The Weight of Content in a Box calculator computes weight of substance in a box defined by the box's dimensions and the mean density. 
INSTRUCTIONS:
- (L) Length of the box.
- (W) Width of the box.
- (H) Height of the box.
- (S) Choose a substance from the pull-down menu (see list below)
Weight: The calculator returns the mass (weight) in kilograms. However, this can be automatically converted into other weight or mass units via the pull-down menu.
The Math / Science
The formula for the mass or weight of contents of a box is:
M = L * W * H * mD
where:
- M = mass or weight of the box
- L = Length of the box
- W = Width of the box
- H = Height of the box
- mD = Mean Density of Substance
