1 cubic meter contains 500 bricks?

The Standard size of the 1st class brick is 190mm x 90mm x 90mm 

and motor joint should be 10mm thick
So brick with motor=200 x 100 x 100.
Volume of 1st class brick = 0.19 x 0.09 X 0.09 = 0.001539 cu.m
Volume of 1st class brick with motor =0.2 x 0.1 x 0.1=0.002 cu.m
No. on bricks per 1cu.m= 1/volume of1st class brick with mortor
                                       =1/0.002
                                       = 500 no’s of bricks

MILE = 1.6093 KILOMETER
ACRE = 0.4047 HECTARE
POUND = 0.4536 KILOGRAM
DEGREE FARENHEIT X 5/9 – 32 = DEGREE CELSIUS

A rope having length 100cm.You can form any
shape using this rope (Example: Triangle,
Rectangle, etc.,). Which shape will covers
maximum area
1 Newton = o.101971 kg
1 mm2 = 0.01 cm2
1 cm2 = 100 mm2
1 mm2 = 20 N
100 mm2 = 2000N
1 cm2 = 2000N
2000 N = 203.942 kg
So 20 N/ mm2 = 203.942 kg / cm2

M20 Grade:RATIO IS 1:1.5:3

then volume is 1+1.5+3=5.5 and the total volume
for using mix=1.57 m3 then cement required=1/ 5.5*1.57 

=0.285m3*1440=411 kg. (8+bag)
sand requried=1.5/5.5*1.57=0.471m3
aggregate required=3/5.5*1.57=0.853m3
the standard volume of dry mix mortar=1.57.. 

U can check it in IS code also. 

Then volume is
1+1.5+3=5.5 and the total volume for using
mix=1.57 m3 then cement required =1/ 5.5*1.57

=0.285m3*1440=411 kg.(8+bag)
sand requried=1.5/5.5*1.57=0.471m3
aggregate required=3/5.5*1.57=0.853m3
the standard volume of dry mix mortar=1.57.. 

U can check it in IS code also.
