Solution

\[\text { The dimension of the rectangular piece of iron is 50 cm }\times 40 cm \times 10 cm . \]

\[\text { i . e . , volume } = 50 cm \times 40 cm \times 10 cm = 20000 {cm}^3 \]

\[\text { It is given that the weight of 1 }{cm}^3 \text { of iron is 8 gm } . \]

\[ \therefore \text { The weight of the given piece of iron = 20000 } \times 8 gm\]

\[ = 160000 gm\]

\[ = 160 \times 1000 gm\]

\[ = 160 kg ( \because 1 kg = 1000 gm)\]
