Forum rules
Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,

Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.

All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page

Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

I know the part weight is 7.035 Cubic Inches and the Specific Gravity to be 1.38.

How do I get the weight?

Specific gravity is the relative density vs water. You also need to look up the absolute density of water. I think it is around 62 pounds/cubic foot, but I always do problems like this in metric, where it is very close to 1.000 kg/L (for most temperatures.)

At any rate, you need
volume * specific_gravity * absolute_density_of_water

depending on units of volume and water density, you may have to resolve (convert) some units too.
