In the ancient Chinese mathematical work "Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art," there is a problem as follows: "There is a golden rod in China, five feet long. When one foot is cut from the base, it weighs four catties. When one foot is cut from the end, it weighs two catties. How much does each foot weigh in succession?" Based on the given conditions of the previous question, if the golden rod changes uniformly from thick to thin, estimate the total weight of this golden rod to be approximately ____ catties.
