How much would a Cold Rolled Steel Sheet 20 GA. (.036 inches thick) 2X4 Feet weigh? steel plate

Question:

I'ld like to find out how much such a peice of sheet steel would way, since its for a project:

How much would a Cold Rolled Steel Sheet 20 GA. (.036 inches thick) 2X4 Feet weigh?

I'ld also like to know whether I could cut through this sheet with a reciprocating saw?

 

Anwser:

The volume of the steel material is 0.036 x 24 x 48 = 41.472 inches^3

The density of steel is about 0.3 lb./inch^3 so the resulting mass is roughly 12.4 lb.

Depending on the hardness of the rolled sheet, it may be difficult to cut it by mechanically sawing action, it also depends on the size of the teeth of the saw. However in my judgement, it is possible when these conditions are suitable and the steel edges being cut are well supported.
