I have just weighed a large piece of green oak and it is approx 1000Kg per cubic metre. But this figure will vary widle due to the density and the moisture content of the timber. We supply green oak buildings and there has allways been a difference in weight of pieces of oak of the same size. Hope this helps

∙ 13y agoA pulp cord of seasoned white oak is 4200 pounds. A pulp cord is 128 cubic feet(4x4x8'). Therefore a cubic foot of seasoned white oak would be 32.8125 pounds.

How many pounds does a cubic meter of wood weigh?
Each type of wood has a different weight per unit volume. Some commonly used kinds of wood are pine, fir, spruce and cedar. Pine weight ranges from 27 to 45 pounds per cubic foot. For one cubic meter, multiply by 27. Douglas fir weighs about 33 pounds per cubic foot. Spruce (dry) weighs 28 pounds/cubic foot. Red cedar weighs 24 pounds/cu. foot.
Which force keeps a piece of wood floating?
It is caused by the difference in density between wood and water.One cubic foot of wood is usually lighter than one cubic foot of water, hence the water goes up a little but the wood goes up more.The overall density of the wood block is less than that of the water, so it floats.The basic principle is that when a solid object is immersed in a fluid, the solid displaces some of the fluid. This causes an upthrust on the solid, equal to the weight of fluid displaced. If the upthrust is equal to the weight of the solid it floats.

What is weight of softwood timber?
Answer:With a cord and fractional parts of a cord or cubic meter (AKA a stere).Answer:Firewood is traditionally measured by the "cord".A full cord is a pile of stacked wood 4' x 4' x 8' (128 cu. ft.)A face cord is 4' x 1.5' x 8' (42 cu. ft.)Packages of wood at about 1 cubic foot are available at campgrounds and service stations
When is an object buoyant?
When the density of the object is less than the density of the liquid or gas it is buoyant. For example, the density of wood is about 40 lb per cubic foot, while water is 62.4 lb per cubic foot, so wood floats. The density of helium gas is much less than air, so even with the added weight of the balloon, the average density of a helium balloon is less than air and it is buoyant. also there is an example with a pencil & a fish take since there is more than twice the weight of the pencil of water in the tank the pencil will certainly float

How many cube inches are in one cubic foot?
Density of wood varies by species. Teak, for example, is considerably more dense than balsa. You'd have to determine the weight of the wood you're measuring to answer this question.
Unit weight pressure treated southern yellow pine?
The southern yellow pine's weight varies between 32 lbs. per cubic foot and 38 lbs. per cubic foot. The weight of the treatment, if there is one, must be added on top of that, then must be adjusted for the size of the piece of wood.
How much does a piece of wood weigh?
A 'piece of wood' is very vague. It all depends on the size of the piece and what type of wood it is. Strictly, the weight is the volume of the piece multiplied by the density of the particular wood. Wood floats in water therefore it weighs less than water. Water weighs about 80 pounds per cubic foot. If the wood is wet (freshly cut) it might be 20 to 25 percent water or about 20 pounds per cubic foot. If it is old and dry it might be 5 percent water or about 4 pounds per cubic foot. To this you need to add the weight of the dry wood itself. The weight of completely dry wood is related to the compactness of the cells which depends on the species of wood. "Softwoods"such as balsa or pine are relatively light (large cells with lots of empty space in between which is why they are "soft") while "hardwoods" like oak, walnut or ebony are relatively heavy (small cells packed closely togehter which makes them "hard"). Completely dry pine might weigh 10 pounds per cubic foot (this is a guess, not a fact) while completely dry walnut might weigh 30 to 40 pounds per cubic foot (another guess). Wood still floats even when completely wet so the total weight will always be less than the weight of the same volume of water.

How many BTU in 1 cu ft of oak wood?
There are about 200,781.25 btu in a cubic foot of oak. A cord of wood amounts to 128 cubic feet.
How many cu. ft. are in a pound?
Cubic feet is a measure of volume (i.e. a cube measuring one foot x one foot x one foot). Pounds is a measure of weight (mass). Therefore the relationship between cubic feet and pounds is called density (lbs per cubic foot) and will vary for each substance: a gas (at atmospheric pressure) will have less than one pound per cubic foot, while a block of wood will have a density of approximately 60 lbs per cubic foot.

What is the weight of southern yellow pine in pounds per cubic foot?
Machinery's Handbook lists the density of southern yellow pine at from 52~55 pounds per cubic foot green and 36~41 pounds per cubic foot air dried.You might have guessed that the weight of a chunk of wood will vary a bit depending on its moisture content. (Resin content will affect density as well.) Was it just sawed, or did it just come out of the kiln? Southern yellow pine can weigh 23 to 37 poundsper cubic foot out of the wood storage shed, according to the chart in the Engineering ToolBox. Though that might seem a bit low given other estimates, you can use the link below to educate yourself.If you consult Reade Advanced Materials, they say 45 pounds per cubic foot dry. The Wooden Boat Forum says 43 pounds per cubic foot. The sum of these citations might yield confusion, but a good estimate of a bit over 40 pounds per cubic foot is "safe" and quite usable/useful.
Why is a heavier a cubic meter of steel than a cubic meter of wood?
A cubic Meter of Steel is heavier than a cubic meter of wood because Steel is more dense than wood therefore there is more of it in the same cubic area. But if you compare a pound of wood to a pound of steel they will in fact be the same weight. :op
What is the weight of one cubic foot block of wood if 6.25 inches of the wood weighs 9.5 pounds?
If 6.25/12 cu ft = 9.5 lb, then 1 cu ft = 12/6.25 x 9.5 lb = 18.24 lb
Unit of a volume?
There are many. a cubic foot, a cubic metre, a gallon, a litre, a cord of wood, and so on. A cubic centimeter.
