random question of the month.

[Alberta_Qaudin]

Ok me and my boss have been searching for over an hour to get the weight of one lineal foot of 5/8' thick copper wire or 000000 gauge. can anyone find the answer to this

[Dr89]

do you know the diameter?

i came up with 0.8991 lbs

i just had to do a little bit of guessing as to what exactly your measuring so if its not right you can see if you can figure it out yourself using these. on the first link i entered 6/0 for the gage, and then used the .58" diamter and entered it into the second link, as well as 1 foot.
