Weight of column is 555.83 N
Explanation:
Size of column = 6 inch x 6 inch x 8 ft
Size of column = 0.5 ft x 0.5 ft x 8 ft
Volume of column = 0.5 x 0.5 x 8 = 2 ft³
Specific weight of concrete = 62.4 lb/ft³
Mass = Volume x Specific weight
Mass = 2 x 62.4
Mass = 124.8 lb = 124.8 x 0.454 = 56.66 kg
Weight = 56.66 x 9.81 = 555.83 N
Weight of column is 555.83 N
