A fabricated piece of 12-inch diameter pipe, 48 feet long, weighs 35 pounds per lineal foot. What is the weight of the total load?

To determine the total weight of the fabricated piece of pipe, you start by noting the weight per lineal foot and the total length of the pipe. The pipe has a weight of 35 pounds for each lineal foot, and it measures 48 feet in length.

You calculate the total weight by multiplying the weight per lineal foot by the total length of the pipe:

Total weight = Weight per lineal foot × Length of pipe

Total weight = 35 lbs/foot × 48 feet = 1,680 lbs.

This calculation shows that the weight of the total load of the 12-inch diameter pipe is 1,680 pounds, making it the correct choice.
