THE MEANING OF NOAH’S ARK
Before the Great Flood the Lord said to Noah:
“ So make yourself an ark of cypress wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out.This is how you are to build it:the ark is to be 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide and 30 cubits high.
Make a roof for it and finish the ark to within 1 cubit of the top. “ (Gen. 6, 14 – 16)
The volume of these measurements with the roof part of the Ark is 7.148.437.500 cubic inches = 117.141.987,5 liters. Specific gravity of cypress wood is 0,51 g / cm3:
117.141.987,5 x 0,51 = 59.742.413,6 kg
Earth weights 59.742.413.600.000.000.000.000.000.000 kg
According to the Great Pyramid the mean size of Earth is 40.017,93119 km, and its mean volume gives 1.082.215.220.000 km3. With the weight of Earth which Noah’s ark shows, and according to the mean size of the Earth, we get the specific weight of the Earth to be 5,520381944 g / cm3.

Actually the meaning of the OP is nothing. First, nobody knows exactly how long the Biblical cubit was, so calculations of that precision with it are pointless. Second, the cubit was defined in use as the distance from some point on the thumb or a finger to the elbow, so it'd be different for everybody. Nobody knows exactly how long Noah's arm (or god's, for that matter) was. Third, the terminology is all wrong. Specific gravity is a dimensionless quantity; density is the word you want. The earth is weightless, same as astronauts in orbit are; mass is the word you want. Fourth, what is the point of multiplying the volume of the ark by the density of cypress wood? Presumably most of that volume would have been air.
I could go on, but there's no point. The real calculation: numerical coincidences plus units carefully chosen to produce the results you want equals mystic nonsense.

The biblical cubic had been defined at the time as is evident in the “Old Kingdom” pyramids.
1 example:
The Egyptians clearly used a standard measure as early as c. 2750 BC (Dynasty III) at Saqqara (J.P.Lauer). From the evidence this is widely accepted to have been 523.5 to 524 mm (20.61 to 20.63 in) in length, and was subdivided into 7 palms of 4 digits, giving a 28 part measure in total. This unit was used virtually unchanged for 2000 years, with occasional variations.
There are many different forms of weight and mass. The astronaut is weightless in space due to a relative position to the earth’s gravitational field. But still has weight. Just like the Earth’s relevance to the sun’s gravitational field and its orbit. Though retaining mass and orbit, the earth also has weight like the astronaut.
The volume of air is not added into the equation for that is the (ether), for lack of a better term, that the ark is in and serves as the vacuum or (ether) of space in the astronaut’s weightless equation.
Mystic nonsense, I concur, but a interesting point of view.
“ So make yourself an ark of cypress wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out. This is how you are to build it: the ark is to be 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide and 30 cubits high.
Make a roof for it and finish the ark to within 1 cubit of the top. “ (Gen. 6, 14 – 16)
So Let us..........
Take the equation given and use, on an outstretched arm, the tip thumb to elbow definition of a cubic.
If Noah were 6’-2” tall, my height. My cubit = 17.25” (nails trimmed)
L= 300 x 17.25” = 5175” / 12” (per linear ft.) = 431’-3”
W= 50 x 17.25” = 862.5” / 12” (per linear ft.) =71’-10 ½”
h= 30 x 17.25” = 517.5” / 12” (per linear ft.) = 43’ 1 ½”
OH I MUST BE BORED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Home sick since Sat. May be the FEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A roof.
Lets take a standard 7/12 pitch we use in my neck of the woods. It is based for shedding snow and rain. 7” up (d.u.) for every 1’ out ( d.o.). Will give our roof a 24” over hang on all sides.
Roof perimeter is:
L= 431’-3” + (2’ x 2 sides) 4’ = 435’-3”
W= 71’-10 ½” + (2’ x 2 sides) 4’ = 75’- 10 ½”
Layout of roof:
L = 435’-3”
W = 75’- 10 ½”
Height of roof:
(W / 2) = d.o. x( 7” d.u.)= rh" /(12) = rh' + h' - 1 cubit = H
(W) 75’- 10 ½” / 2 (an “A” framed roof has 2 sides) = (d.o) 37.9375’
rh” = d.o. x d.u.
(d.o.) 37.9375’ x (d.u.) 7” = (rh“) 265.5625”
rh” /12 (“ per L.F.) = (rh’) 22.1302083333333333.…..or/ ~ 22’- 2”
h' + rh' - (1 cubit) Make a roof for it and finish the ark to within 1 cubit of the top. = H
(h) 43’ 1 ½” + (rh) 22’-2” - 17.25” = (H) 63’- 10 ¼”
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
L= 431’-3”
W= 71’-10 ½”
H = 63’- 10 ¼”
A nice sized building
Point of reference for scale:
Since the spacing of streets in grid plans varies so widely among cities, or even within cities, it is impossible to generalize about the size of a city block. However, as reference points, the standard block in Manhattan is about 264 feet by 900 feet (about 80 meters by 270 meters), or slightly over five acres (two hectares); and in some U.S. cities standard blocks are as wide as 1/8 mile (660 feet or approximately 200 meters), or 10 acres (about

While the old goat was busy drowning all of humanity, save one family, I have to wonder how old Noah managed to acquire two Arctic penquins and certain fish species that exist only many thousand of metres under the ocean.
Maybe he had scuba gear and a Star Trek Transporter?

and he would have needed to collect the fish of the sea because........... they might drown in the coming deluge?

well, obviously he didn't. Fish don't need to be rescued from a flood, and there's not a single Arctic penguin left after the flood.
