Tons To Cords Formula
The following formula relates weight in tons (W), volume in cords (V), and the weight per cord (D).
W = V × D
Variables:
- W is the weight in tons (Ton)
- V is the volume in cords (Cord)
- D is the tons per cord (Ton/Cord)
To calculate any of the three variables, use the relationship W = V × D. You can solve for V by V = W ÷ D or for D by D = W ÷ V.
What is Tons To Cords?
“Tons to Cords” is a conversion between weight (in tons) and volume (in cords) for materials like firewood. One cord is a measure of volume equal to 128 cubic feet, and the conversion requires the weight per cord to relate mass to volume.
How to Calculate Tons To Cords?
Use the formulas above to convert between tons, cords, and tons per cord. Depending on which two values you know, you can determine the third.
- Decide which two values you know (W, V, or D).
- Use W = V × D to calculate the third variable.
- If solving for volume (V), use V = W ÷ D.
- If solving for tons per cord (D), use D = W ÷ V.
- Enter your known values into the calculator and press Calculate.
Example Problem:
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
weight in tons (W) = 8
volume in cords (V) = 3
tons per cord (D) = ?
