How much does a cube of plank weigh?

An interesting fact about planks is that they can be made from different types of wood, each with its own unique density and weight.

The weight of a cube of board will depend on the type of wood and the volume of the cube. Formula for calculating the weight: $\text{weight}=\text{density}\times \text{volume}$. You need to know the dimensions of the cube and the density of the material for an accurate answer.

Here are examples of board cube weights for several popular wood species. Assume that the dimensions of the cube are 1 metre x 1 metre x 1 metre:

1. Pine: The density is about 500kg/m³. The weight of a cube will be 500kg.
2. Oak: The density is about 720kg/m³. The weight of the cube will be 720kg.
3. Birch: The density is about 670kg/m³. The weight of the cube will be 670kg.
4. Tick: The density is about 980kg/m³. The weight of a cube will be 980kg.
5. Balsa: The density is about 160kg/m³. The weight of the cube will be 160kg.
6. Maple: The density is about 700kg/m³. The weight of the cube will be 700kg.
7. Ash: The density is about 670kg/m³. The weight of the cube will be 670kg.
8. Larch: The density is about 590kg/m³. The weight of the cube will be 590kg.
9. Mahogany: The density is about 550kg/m³. The weight of the cube will be 550kg.
10. Cherry: The density is about 630kg/m³. The weight of the cube will be 630kg.
11. Walnut: The density is about 650kg/m³. The weight of a cube will be 650kg.
12. Ebony: The density is about 1000kg/m³. The weight of a cube will be 1000kg.
13. Rosewood: The density is about 850kg/m³. The weight of the cube will be 850kg.
14. Mahogany: The density is about 800kg/m³. The weight of the cube will be 800kg.
15. Cedar: The density is about 480kg/m³. The weight of the cube will be 480kg.
16. Popel: The density is about 510 kg/m³. The weight of the cube will be 510 kg.
17. Poplar: The density is about 420kg/m³. The weight of the cube will be 420kg.
18. Alder: The density is about 590kg/m³. The weight of the cube will be 590kg.
19. Sequoia: The density is about 420kg/m³. The weight of the cube will be 420kg.
20. Beech: The density is about 750kg/m³. The weight of a cube will be 750kg.
21. Hickory: The density is about 830kg/m³. The weight of a cube will be 830kg.
22. Apple tree: The density is about 650kg/m³. The weight of the cube will be 650kg.
23. Pear: The density is about 640kg/m³. The weight of a cube will be 640kg.
24. Fruit tree: The density is about 730kg/m³. The weight of the cube will be 730kg.
25. Bamboo: The density is about 400kg/m³. The weight of a cube will be 400kg.
26. Linden: The density is about 560kg/m³. The weight of the cube will be 560kg.
27. Eucalyptus: The density is about 900kg/m³. The weight of the cube will be 900kg.
28. Pine heartwood: The density is about 530kg/m³. The weight of a cube will be 530kg.
29. Rosehip: The density is about 760kg/m³. The weight of the cube will be 760kg.
30. Meranti: The density is about 545kg/m³. The weight of the cube will be 545kg.

Planks have been used since ancient times for construction, furniture and other applications. Weighing a cube of planks can be important for specific construction or manufacturing needs, as different weights can affect the strength and stability of structures. Knowing the weight also helps in transporting and storing the material.
