I found this problem in a physics book.
---------------------------
Noah's ark was ordered to be 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high. The cubit was a unit of measure equal to the length of a human forearm, elbow to the tip of the longest finger. Express the dimensions of Noah's ark in meters, and estimate its volume (m^3).
Answer: 150 m long, 25 m wide, 15 m high, volume = 6 * 10^4 m^3
