That would be a square foot.

A cubic foot (scanning back to tenth grade) should be 1ftx1ftx1ft

12 feet by 1 inch by 1 foot of lumber. Or a 12 foot 2" by 6" piece of lumber.

yup, 64 pounds per cubic foot. I was going to post that but I didn't think anyone would care. Plus that's only for water.

How much would a cubic foot of gold weigh?
For real, mostly just curious.

Straight out of the AISC manual I have on my desk. (yes I cheat. lol).

Gold (cast/hammered) = 1205 lbs / sqft
Steel (rolled) = 490 lbs / sqft
Aluminum (cast/hammered) = 165 lbs / sqft
Magnesuim Alloy = 112 lbs / sqft

Titanuim (not in the book) weighs 282 lbs / sqft

For a comparison 1 sqft of White Pine Lumber is only 26 lbs / sqft
