The formula to calculate the Green Log Weight is:
\[ GLW = \pi r^2 L \times 85 \]
Where:
The Green Log Weight (GLW) refers to the weight of a log that is still fresh and contains a high moisture content. This weight can be calculated using the log's radius and length. Accurate calculation of the green log weight is crucial for various applications in forestry and logging industries.
Let's assume the following values:
Calculate the Green Log Weight:
\[ GLW = \pi \times (1.5)^2 \times 20 \times 85 \]
Step 1: Calculate the area of the base:
\[ \pi \times (1.5)^2 = \pi \times 2.25 \approx 7.07 \text{ square feet} \]
Step 2: Calculate the volume of the log:
\[ 7.07 \times 20 = 141.4 \text{ cubic feet} \]
Step 3: Calculate the Green Log Weight:
\[ 141.4 \times 85 \approx 12019 \text{ lbs} \]
Therefore, the Green Log Weight is approximately 12019 lbs.
