It would be the cube root of 32.768 m^3.
If one has played with powers of 2 above 2^10,
2^11=2048
then 4096
8192
16384
32768
2^15 is 32768
2^5, the cube root, is 32
Where it is 32.768, 2^15*(10^(-3), the cube root is 2^5*(10^(-1))
That is 32^(10^(-1))=3.2, the same result from taking the cube root of 32.768.
3.2 m.
