how do i work out lengths of timber into meter cubed . i have 300 Linnea meters of 100 / 75?

Answer 1

it's called "linear", not "linnea" ;-)


do length, times height, time depth

I assume your wood is standard so by 100/75 you mean 75cm (0.75 meter) deep and 1 meter high.

so if you've got 300 linear meters of it, the volume is 0.75 x 1 x 300 = 225 cubic meters.

for timber / firewood, in the metric system, a cubic meter is called a "stere". In the U.S., people use the "cord", which is a volume of 8ft x 4ft x 4ft = 128 ft-cubed - a cord is 3.62 steres (or 3.63 cubic meters)


hope this helps

Answer 2

I'm sure you mean 100x75 mm (4 x 3") in the old language.

You therfore have 2.25 cubic meters.

0.1 x 0.075 x 300m = 2.25

Answer 3

i take it that you have 300 metres of four by threes

volume in cubic metres=0.1*0.075*300
= 2.25

therefore, volume of wood =2.25m^3

i hope that this helps
