Definition

The cord is a unit of volume traditionally used for firewood or pulpwood.

\(\ds \) \(\) \(\ds 1\) cord
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds 128\) cubic feet
\(\ds \) \(\approx\) \(\ds 3.62\) cubic metres

Thus a cord is a quantity of wood that can be stacked in a woodpile $4$ feet long, $8$ feet wide, and $4$ feet high.
