Cone Weight

The Weight or Mass of a Cone calculator computes the mass based on the mean density of the cone material (mD) and its volume as a function of the height (h) and the radius of the base (r).  A geometric Cone 

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

• (h) Height of Cone.
• (r) Radius of Cone Base
• (mD) Mean Density of Cone Material.(Default is 7,850 kg/m³ for steel)

Mass or Weight of a Cone (m): The calculator returns the mass of the cone in kilograms.  However, this can be automatically converted other mass or weight units via the pull-down menu.

The Math / Science

This formula computes the volume of the geometric shape based on the input parameters.  It then uses the formula for mass from volume and density:

M = V • mD

where:

• V is the volume of the cone
• mD is the mean density.

Mean Density Table

Mean density is scientifically volume divided by mass.  There are  various unit for density adopted by cultures and industries. Common units for density included the following:

• kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³)
• grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³)
• grams per liter (g/L)
• pounds per cubic feet (lb/ft³)
• ounces per cubic inch (oz/in³)
• pounds per barrel (lb/bbl)
• pounds per bushel (lb/bu)

If you want to identify a material by its density, use the Density Within Range tool.

Weight is technically the downward force that a mass exerts based on the force of gravity and the mass of the object.  On the surface of the Earth, mass and weight are often interchanged.  In some places, objects are sold by the gram (mass), and in other locations, the same objects are sold by the ounce (weight).

The Weight Calculators use the dimensions of an object and its shape to compute the objects volume.  They then apply a density associated with a material to estimate the objects weight.
