Weight-Volume relationships

Weight is defined as the quantity of matter contained in a body. Weight can also be defined as the force acting on a body due to gravity. Mathematically, weight can be defined as-

Vn = 6*36*1/(4*1.1) = 49.09 am I wrong? I believe in the calculation in the solution the coefficient m was not taken into account. And Pn is not 54 kips either, with the given formula it comes up as 6*36*0.5/(4*1.25) = 21.6 and in which case the design strength would be 21.6 kips. Please let me know if there's something I'm missing from the formulas.
