Do you think you could lift...

[Brutuskend]

How much do you think said cube would weigh?

19.3 - density of gold.

14.2 inches X 2.5=35.5 cm X 19.3=685.15 kg
Info for the calculation.

Gold weighs about 1200 lbs per square foot, so no.

Hell no, I tried picking up a gold brick that was in a display of treasure from a shipwreck (you were allowed to touch and pick it up) it must of weighed 80 or 90lbs.

no, 14.2 x 14.2 x 14.2

ok, so
14.2 x 14.2 x 14.2 X 2.5=7158.22 cc X 19.3 grams ~= 138158.6
so A cubic foot of gold will weighs 545.225 kilos = 1188.6 pounds (avoirdupois)

14.2 is inches. Calculations are irrelevant (and in this case, incorrect) without appropriate units.

14.2 is inches.

So the mass is 2055.45

That's why I converted 14.2 into cm by mutiplying it by 2.5
1 inch=2.54 cm

To be correct, one would need to multiply by 2.54^3 after the fact (because the unit of volume would be inches^3).

The combined strength of Spamela and his son could deadlift one half of said cube.
