Does anyone know the formula for calculating the weight of a dodecagon in steel? Such as a steel pole?
Total weight (Kg) = Base area (cm2) x Height (cm) x Specific weight (between 7,8.10^-3 and 8,7.10^-3 Kg/cm3 depending on the alloy)
In case the cross section is not constant and its width varies linearly along the height, replace "base area" in my previous post by "middle cross section area".
