To convert the density of wood from the CGS system of units to the MKS (SI) system, you need to convert the unit of volume as well as the unit of mass. Here's the conversion:

1 g/cm³ = 1,000 kg/m³

Since the density of wood in the CGS system is 0.5 g/cm³, we can convert it to MKS units as follows:

0.5 g/cm³ * 1,000 kg/m³ = 500 kg/m³

Therefore, the corresponding value of wood density in the MKS system is 500 kg/m³.
