Ah, what a lovely question! One cubic meter of diesel is equal to 1000 liters. Isn't that just a happy little fact to know? Just imagine all the wonderful things you can create with that much diesel!
Depends. A cubic meter of WHAT? If it's a cubic meter of lead, it would weigh quite a bit. A cubic meter of air, not so much. The standard substance that is used to relate metric measurements to each other is water. The "gram" was defined as the mass (not weight, but similar) of one cubic centimeter of water at normal temperature. There are 1 million cubic centimeters in a cubic meter, so a cubic meter of water would have a mass of 1 million grams, or 1,000 kilograms, or 1 metric ton. To obtain the mass of 1 cubic meter of some other substances, simply multiply the specific gravity of the substance by the mass of a cubic meter of water.

-- 1 cubic meter of space is 1,000 liters of space. -- 1 liter of water has 1 kilogram of mass. -- 1,000 liters of water has 1,000 kilograms of mass = 1 metric ton -- 1 metric ton of water fills 1 cubic meter of space. -- A substance with a specific gravity of 2.7 packs 2.7 times as much mass into the same space. -- 2.7 metric tons of it pack into 1 cubic meter of space. -- The number of cubic meters it occupies is (the number of metric tons)/2.7 . -- For ANY substance, the number of cubic meters it fills is (the # of metric tons)/(specific gravity) .
40000 liters calculation: 8m x 5m x 1m = 40 meters cubed 1 meter cubed = 1000 liters of water so 40 cubic meters = 40000 liters of water
