Why is a heavier a cubic meter of steel than a cubic meter of wood?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

A cubic meter of steel is heavier than a cubic meter of wood because steel has a higher density than wood. Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume, and steel is much denser than wood due to its molecular structure. The atoms in steel are packed more closely together, resulting in a higher mass per unit volume compared to the more spaced-out molecules in wood.
