Thread: How much material do I need to fill a human mould?

I need to work out how much material it will take to fill a human mould based on a certain set of figures that I have, and I don't know how to convert them.

The material covers 64.1m²/tonne @ a depth of 10mm.

The figures I have for the mould are: height 1.7m, and average diameter 0.82m (waist).

Please can someone show me how to work this out because I have worked it out to be 1.38t of material, and this seems rather high.

Thanking you in advance.

The density of the material is tonnes per cubic metre, the human body has a density of tonne per cubic metre, so the mass of meterial will be about times the mass of a human body kg so yes your answer is high by something like an order of magnitude.
