Question

Cable Weight 2805.0 kg/km

Cable Length 137.16 m

I need to know the total weight of a 137.16 m cable

Answer 1

Hi, Frankie! Notice that the cable weighs 2805.0 kilograms per kilometer. Thus, we need to convert this standard to kilograms per meter, in order to match the measurement of the 137.16 meters cable. Simply divide the standard by 1000, as a kilometer is 1000 meters, and the result is 2.805 kg/m. Next, multiply 2.805 kg/m by 137.16 m. That result will be the total weight, in kilograms, of the 137.16 m cable.
