Estimate the total weight of wooden logs based on type, size, and moisture condition — useful for construction and transport planning.
The weight of a log depends mainly on its wood species, dimensions, and **moisture content**. Different woods have different densities — for example, pine is lighter (≈560 kg/m³) while oak and rosewood are much denser.
To find the weight, we calculate the log’s **volume** first and then multiply it by the density of the selected wood:
Weight (kg) = Volume (m³) × Density (kg/m³)Moisture has a strong effect — freshly cut (green) wood can be 20–30% heavier than dried wood, which is why the moisture adjustment is crucial for accurate transport planning.
