hi there
im looking for a formula or method of calculating weight of a metal if i know the metals weight in a given size or not . here is what i mean take the flat packs for instance and if you could get all the strands of fine gold wire out of one in and lay it all down end for end and say you had 6 feet of this with the diameter being lets say 1/1000 of an inch . how can i calculate the weight of it? what would it be ?? area x atomic weight ?
any help would be great
thanks
Ian
