A box of gravel measures 2'-6 by 1'-9 by 2'-0 the box full of gravel weighs 1225 lbs assuming the box itself weighs nothing what is the density of the gravel?

It's probably easiest to first convert the dimensions of the box to inches.
2'-6 = 2*12+6 in. = 30 in.
1'-9 = 12+9 in. = 21 in.
2'-0 = 2*12 in. = 24 in.
The box's dimensions are 30 x 21 x 24 in. 30*21*24 = 15,120, so the box has a volume of 15,120 in3. Density is in units of mass or weight divided volume, so the density is 1225/15120 lb/in3. There are 123 in3 in 1 ft3, so the density in lb/ft3 is 1225*123/15120, which is 140 lb/ft3.

How do you convert pea gravel from weight to cubic meters?
First, you need the density of pea gravel. This depends heavily on particle size and cleanness of the gravel, but a density of 3000lb/yard3 is a realistic estimate. If you want the final answer in metric, it's useful to convert the density to 1780kg/meter3. Knowing this density, you can use it as a conversion factor. You just take the mass of your Pea gravel (for example 50kg) and multiply it by 1 meter3/1780kg to make the units cancel out. Or if you want it easy, just take the weight of your pea gravel in kilograms and divide it by 1780 to get volume in cubic meters. This is a very rough estimate, and actual values depend on the density of the pea gravel being used. The basic idea for any conversion is that you get the density and make sure it uses cubic meters.
How many tons of gravel for 1380 sq ft of driveway?
depends on the depth of gravel that you want. Assuming 3 inches deep you need V = 1380 x 3/ 12 = 345 cubic feet Water has a weight of 62.4 pounds per cubic foot. Gravel is about 2.7 times as dense as water, so-- 345 x 62.4 x 2.7 /2000 = 29.06 tons
How much does 1 cubic yard of gravel weigh?
This depends on the size of gravel, the water content of the gravel, and the material composition of the rock used to make the gravel. Typically 1 cu.yd. of gravel wieghs 3000 lb.
Application of density in your daily life?
I own a pickup truck. It is rated as a half ton truck for cargo. If oak firewood has a density of 50 lbs per cubic foot, what volume of firewood can I carry in my truck? Can I just pile it on to the top of the rails, or will I overload the truck? Gravel has a density of 140 lbs per cubic foot. I need to fill in a drive way that is 120 feet long by 16 feet wide to a depth of 3 inches. How many cubic feet can I safely haul in my pickup? How many trips do I have to make to get all the gravel for the project?

What the density of gravel?
AnswerThe density of gravel varies depending on many many things. For one there is packed and loose density. Next the density varies much of how many fines and coarses (sand and rock) are in the gravel mixture. There are many ways to find the density of gravel but takes a little know how. So there is no definite answer to this question.The density of compacted gravel will vary from 2100-2300 kg per cubic meter.

Can you filter it to separate salt sawdust and gravel?
Yes, assuming you have no gravel smaller than the sawdust. Just think about it for a second.
What is the density of gravel 20mm?
Gravel suppliers use a conversion rate of 1.75 tonnes per cubic meter of loose filled 20 mm crush but depends on the type of rock and how dry it is. Dry gravel with little or no fines has a density of 1.5 tonnes per cubic meter. When the gravel is compacted it compress by about 20%.

What animals live in gravel?
Some birds will use gravel in their nests, but i would search some where else for more specific information.
Mrs Fields ordered 3 tons of gravel for a driveway at a factory How many pounds of gravel did he order?
He ordered nothing; Mrs. Fields ordered it.
Is gravel a heterogeneous mixture?
Gravel only refers to the size of a rock, which has a range of about 2mm-65mm on its largest side. A gravel driveway, for example, could be made from either homogeneous gravel (all from the same rock type) or it could be a mixture of rock types(heterogeneous).
How much gravel you need to cover 150 square foot?
Depends on depth of gravel you plan to put down. For each 1 inch depth: Estimate gravel having a density of 2.7. 150 x 1/12 x 62.4 x 2.7 = 2106 pounds (slightly more than 1 ton) so if you want 3 inches of gravel you need about 3 tons of gravel
Does dirt or gravel exist on Saturn?
We know next-to-nothing about the surface of Saturn. We can guess that something at least resembling gravel exists there, because it exists on Saturn's moon Titan.
How can you separate sawdust from gravel?
Place the sawdust and gravel mixture in water and stir. Let it sit for a time - the gravel will fall to the bottom and the sawdust will float on the top. Density of gravel is greater than water and density of sawdust (wood) is less than water. The layer of sawdust can be carefully removed by skimming it off water's surface or by pouring gravel and sawdust through a series of mesh screens of varying size (the screens can be used with dry or wet mixture)I would use the difference in density of the two materials. A simple method would be to have a stream of the mixed materials poured from a higher elevation to a lower, with a stream of air blowing across the stream. Being less dense, the sawdust will be blown to one side, the gravel will drop straight down. Of course, you COULD just drop the mixed materials into water- sawdust floats, gravel does not. Sawdust will also burn, where gravel will not. Roasting the gravel at a heat above the combustion point of sawdust will cause it to ignite, burning the sawdust away, leaving gravel. Of course, if you have plenty of time, just turn a few termites loose on the mix- they will eat wood- but not gravel!
What do you use gravel for in Minecraft?
Other than using gravel for building, gravel is useful to farm for flint. When you mine gravel with a shovel, there is a small chance that instead of dropping a gravel block, it will drop flint. Flint can be used in crafting recipes such as flint and steel as well as arrows
