A piece of wood has the density of 430kg/m cubed, what is the mass of 50m cubed of this wood?

\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "The wood weighs 430kg/m^3. That means 1 m^3 weighs 430 kg (kilograms).
\n" ); document.write( "yhere are 50 meters^3 of it, so it weighs 50 times the 430 kg/m.
\n" ); document.write( "That's 430*50 = 21,500 kilograms.
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "That's over 20 tons, so don't get under it.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
