How much of the wooden timber was submerged in water?

Homework Statement

Mass of a timber is $20 \ g$. And, density of that timber is $0.27 \ g/cc$. That timber was bind to a metallic materials and, it was released to $0.970 \ g/cc$ water. How much the wood was submerged in water?

Relevant Equations

$$F=Ah\rho g$$

I was trying to solve the problem following way.

$$F=Ah\rho g$$
$$=V\rho g$$
$$=V \ m^3 \cdot 970 \ kgm^{-3} \cdot 9.8 ms^{-2}$$
$$=9506V \ N$$
$$W=mg$$
$$=20_{\times 10^3} \ kg \times 9.8 \ ms^{-2}$$
$$=196000 \ N$$
$$W=F$$
$$9506V \ N=196000 \ N$$
$$V=20.6185 \ m^3$$

I think that I didn't do any mistake while solving that problem. Even, I didn't do any mistake of Units. But, I was wondering why my book wrote that $V=20.62 \ cc$. Both answer matched. But, I was thinking of Units. I am just showing a line what they did than, you will understand what they actually did.

$$19620 \ dyne = 951.57 V \ dyne$$
$$V=20.62 \ cm^3=20.62 \ cc$$

>Mass of a timber is $20 \ g$.

$$=20_{\times 10^3} \ kg$$

Do you see the factor of $10^6$ error there?

Ohh! $1 \ kg = 1000 \ g$ but, I took opposite. That's the mistake than,
