How many 40 pound bags of topsoil do you need to cover 5 acres at 3 inches depth?
You need (54,450/number of cubic feet of topsoil in each 40 lb bag) .-- One on-line source we consulted says that the weight of topsoil rangesfrom 50 to 100 pounds per cubic foot.-- Another one says that topsoil is usually estimated to weigh 1 ton per cubic yard(27 cubic feet). That would put it at 74.1 pounds per cubic foot ... right in the middleof the range given by the first source.I can see where this is going, and you're not going to like it . . .-- At 75 pounds per cubic foot, that puts 0.533 cubic foot in one 40-pound bag.-- You would need 102,094 of those bags to do the job !-- Even if the topsoil you get is exceptionally light, sandy, and airy, and a40-pound bag holds a full cubic foot, you still need 54,450 of those.
What does one cubic yard of river rock weigh?
One cubic yard of river rock will weigh around 4,050 lbs. or 2.03 tons You can make this conversion as follows: The cubic foot weight of the material must first be known. If your dealing with stone such as to be laid up in a wall or used for masonry construction it is good to take a 12" x 12" x 12" cube box made of 18 gage sheet metal and put your stone in it filled to the boxes capacity and packed as tightly and firm as possible ( the more solid the more accurate) and put it on the scales. Do this three times with different stones each time and add the three weights together, then divide the sum by three to get the average weight per cubic foot. If there are many viods in between the stone in the cube box take this into consideration; it is not accually a cubic foot solid and allow for a viod factor of 5% to 8%, add this to the over all weight for an idea of what a cubic foot weighs. Once you know the cubic foot weight all you have to do to know the ton amount is to multiply the weight per CF by 27 ( 27 is the number of cubic feet in a yard) and then divide their product by 2000 ( the number of pounds in a ton ) and that will be the number of tons per cubic yard or in your case pounds per cubic yard. Example: Your River rock weight is say 150 lbs per cubic foot. Then one cubic yard weighs: 150 x 27 = 4050 lbs. So there are 4050/2000 tons in a CY of river rock or 2.03 tons. Remember that a Cubic Yard is Volume and a Ton is Weight. One ton of feathers makes more cubic feet than say for instance one ton of silver. So to make this conversion you must know two constants, the weight per CF or CY for that matter and how many cubic feet you have. In this case it is 27 cubic feet or a "yard". Awenow
How do you get the cubic feet of dirt is needed to fill a hole that is 20 feet wide and 15 feet long and 4 inches deep?
This problem gets easy quickly if you put everything in the same units. When you see 4 inches, think of one third of a foot. Fifteen feet times a third of a foot gives five square feet. Multiply 5 by 20, 100 cubic feet. If you are going to get the dirt by digging it from compacted soil, get 100 cubic feet. If you are getting loose dirt, better get 120 cubic feet - it will settle !

How many golf tees fit in one cubed square foot?
That would be very difficult to determine. The experiment could never be set up and conducted, since there is no such thing as a "cubed square foot". If you meant to say cubic foot, then here is a way to determine it. You will need golf tees that will sink in water, plus a container holding 2 cubic feet, with a mark at the one cubic foot level. Fill the container with water to the one cubic foot level. Start dropping in the golf tees until the water level is at the top, or two cubic feet. Count how many golf tees you put into the container to get your answer.
How many square feet of volume does one gallon of water equal?
question is meaningless. gallon is a unit of volume, sq ft is a unit of area. the above is a horrible answer. simply put your question was miss worded. i believe you meant cubic foot (not square foot). the answer is 7.481 gallons in a cubic foot
How many inches in 1.3 cu ft?
An inch is a measure of length. A cubic foot is a measure of volume or capacity.If the question refers to how many cubic inches in 1.7 cubic feet, then :12 inches = 1 foot12 x 12 = 144 square inches = 1 square foot12 x 12 x 12 = 1728 cubic inches = 1 cubic foot.1.7 cu feet = 1.7 x 1728 = 2937.6 cubic inches.

How many cubic feet in a box 18x18x18?
From the first part of the question, we're assuming that the 'volume' of the boxis being sought.1 cubic foot = 1,728 cubic inchesVolume = L x W x H = (34" x 12" x 18") = 7,344 cubic inches = 4.25 cubic feet

How many people have put foot on Jupiter?
Unless there are aliens, 0.
Is weight influenced by the force of volume?
No. Not at all. Volume has no force. Put 1 cubic foot of air inside a sealed jar, and weigh the air. Now let the same air into a 10-cubic-foot jar; seal the jar, and weigh the air again. The air has 10 times the original volume, but it still has exactly the same weight.
Where do you put a foot note?

How many cubic feet is 6 feet by 8 feet by 2 feet?

How much horsepower does a 2002 113 cubic inch SS motorcycle engine make?

How is cubic board feet in timber converted into linear board feet in timber?
Cubic board feet is not a term used in the lumber industry, but it's obvious that a cubic foot is a cube that is one foot on an edge. A board foot, which is a common term used in the lumber industry is a piece of wood that is twelve inches wide, one inch thick and one foot long. Ten board feet would be a board one inch thick, twelve inches wide and ten feet long. (And no, a board doesn't have to be 12 inches wide. If it's 6 inches wide and 2 inches thick and one foot long, there is still one board foot of material there.) To make a cubic foot of wood, one might take one board foot of wood (12"x12"x1") and put it down, then stack another eleven pieces just like it on top the first one. That's 12 pieces of wood that are 1" thick for a total of 12" in height, and which are 12"x12" (length and width) giving us a volume of wood that is 12"x12"x12" or one cubic foot.
