To calculate the volume and weight of rock needed:
Volume (ft³) = Length (ft) × Width (ft) × Depth (ft)
Weight (lbs) = Volume (ft³) × Density (lbs/ft³)
Rock coverage refers to the amount of rock needed to cover a specific area to a certain depth. It is commonly used in landscaping and construction projects[^1^][^2^].
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
Depth in feet = 2 / 12 = 0.167 ft
Volume = 10 × 5 × 0.167 = 8.35 ft³
Weight = 8.35 × 100 = 835 lbs
The volume of rock needed is 8.35 cubic feet, and the weight is 835 lbs.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
Depth in feet = 3 / 12 = 0.25 ft
Volume = 20 × 10 × 0.25 = 50 ft³
Weight = 50 × 100 = 5000 lbs
The volume of rock needed is 50 cubic feet, and the weight is 5000 lbs.
