To calculate the weight of a 40 cubic yard rolloff container packed with calcium hydroxide (hydrated lime), you need to know the density of hydrated lime.
The density of hydrated lime can vary slightly depending on the specific product and its moisture content. However, for calculation purposes, we can assume an average density of hydrated lime to be around 65 pounds per cubic foot (1040 kilograms per cubic meter).
Now, let's calculate the weight:
Convert the volume from cubic yards to cubic feet: 40 cubic yards = 40 * 27 cubic feet (since 1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet) = 1080 cubic feet
Multiply the volume by the density to get the weight: Weight = Volume * Density = 1080 cubic feet * 65 pounds per cubic foot = 70,200 pounds
Therefore, the weight of a 40 cubic yard rolloff container packed with calcium hydroxide (hydrated lime) would be approximately 70,200 pounds.
