There is no direct correlation between volume (cubic feet) and weight. You must specify the material to be measured or the density of the material.

For example, one cubic foot of down feathers is pretty light. One cubic foot of water is about 65 pounds.

How many cu. ft. are in a pound?

Cubic feet is a measure of volume (i.e. a cube measuring one foot x one foot x one foot). Pounds is a measure of weight (mass). Therefore the relationship between cubic feet and pounds is called density (lbs per cubic foot) and will vary for each substance: a gas (at atmospheric pressure) will have less than one pound per cubic foot, while a block of wood will have a density of approximately 60 lbs per cubic foot.
