How the calculation works
V9 calculation: maxVolumeByWeight=maxBoxWeight/bookBulkDensity; usableBoxVolume=min(boxVolume,maxVolumeByWeight); boxes=ceil(booksVolume/usableBoxVolume). The result is reported as book storage box count.
Worked example
Example: Books packed volume = 250 L; Book bulk density = 250 kg/m³; Maximum comfortable box weight = 20 kg; Candidate box volume = 60 L. Result: Max Volume By Weight = 80 L; Boxes = 5; Usable Box Volume = 60 L.
