Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -This may be important to know as you choose what wood is right for your home. If you’re wondering what the weight is of a particular slab, you can calculate it by looking up the wood density and then multiplying that by the volume. The formula for the weight of wood is density X volume.
Detailed explanation-2: -Specific weight: w = [weight ÷ volume] = [9N ÷ 0.001m³] = 9000N/m³ Density: w = [ × g] Where, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/sec² Specific gravity: G = [density of liquid ÷ density of water] As you know, The density of water = 1000kg/m³ 09-Mar-2022
