Question

The volume of 1 bag of cement (50 kg) is equal to:
1. 0.0337 cum
2. 0.0347 cum
3. 0.0327 cum
4. 0.0317 cum

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : 0.0347 cum

The basic things you should know to calculate the volume of 1 bag of cement are,

1.   Density of cement = 1440 kg/ m³

2.   1 bag = 50 kg of cement

3.   1 m³ = 35.3147 cubic feet

4.    Number of cement bags required in 1 m³ = Weight of cement in 1 m³/weight of cement in one bag

5.   i.e., number of cement bags required in 1 m³ = 1440/50 = 28.80 No’s

6.     28.80 Cement bags = 1 m³

7.    ∴ Volume of one cement bag = 1/28.8 = 0.034722 m³
