Default Steel Slab weight

I call it the "cannibalism of numbers" to help people remember---
It's when "two" ate "three"

Can anyone tell me the weight of a steel slab that is 3/4" x 31.5" x 42" ?

Thanks,
Bill



The density of most grades of steel averages around 0.283 pounds per cubic
inch, so your slab weighs about 992 lb.
