7,008 grains= 1 pound of sand.Answer:The term "sand" can be assigned to wide range of particles. Studies indicate that mid-sized sands weigh 0.67 - 23 mg per grain. This means there are from 1 500 000 to 43 000 grains per kg. A kg is 2.2 lb., so there are potentially 700 000 to 22 000 grains per pound.
This question in unanswerable. Here, you are comparing apples to oranges. Let's say you had 56 ounces of lead and 56 ounces of sand. The sand will take more space up because it requires more to make 56 ounces. Different items (ingredients) weigh differently than each other.
Can't say. -You MUST specify WHAT dry goods. -( 1 cup sand - 1 cup flour -BIG difference)
Both the 1 pound of sand and the 1 pound of bricks will fall at the same rate in a vacuum, following the laws of gravity. In the absence of any external forces, objects of different weights fall at the same rate due to gravity, as popularized by Galileo's experiment at the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
