📘 The Formula

m³ = Length(m) × Width(m) × Height(m)

This calculation seems simple, but it requires that all inputs be in meters. If you have "5 meters 30 cm", you must convert that to "5.3 meters" before multiplying.

🧠 Density and Weight

Volume is often the first step to finding weight (mass). For water, usage is easy:

1 Cubic Meter of pure water weighs exactly 1,000 Kilograms (1 Tonne).

For concrete, 1 cubic meter weighs roughly 2,400 kg.

✍️ Worked Example

Scenario: Pouring a concrete slab.

Dimensions: 10m long, 4m wide, 0.15m thick (15cm).

Calculation: 10 × 4 × 0.15

Result: 6 Cubic Meters of concrete needed.

📊 Real-World Applications

  • Logistics: Air freight is often charged by "Volumetric Weight", heavily based on m³ volume.
  • Construction: Ordering sand, gravel, or ready-mix concrete.
  • Agriculture: Calculating the capacity of grain silos or water tanks.

✅ Key Takeaways

  • 1 m³ = 1,000 Liters.
  • 1 m³ = 1,000,000 Cubic Centimeters.
  • 1 m³ ≈ 35.3 Cubic Feet.
