What is the weight resistance of a gallon jug filled with air under water?

The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid (Archimedes Principle). A gallon jug underwater will have a buoyant force equal to the weight of the displaced water: eight pounds. The total weight will also include the normal downward weight of the jug itself and the air it contains.

How many gallon o cups in a bucket?

It depends on the bucket. Most commercially available buckets (galvanized tin [steel]) have often been equal to 2.5 gallons or 10 quarts. #10 buckets (or cans) [15 cups]are just under 1 gallon in size or 4 quarts and more commercially available today is 5 gallon (20 quart) plastic buckets. There is 16 cups per gallon so these various buckets hold 40 cups, 15 cups [#10 bucket] , and 80 cups volume. ** All measurements are using US liquid measure.


How much does water weight per gallon?

First you need to define what you mean by gallon; an Imperial gallon is 4.546 litres, a US gallon is 3.785 litres, and a US dry gallon is 4.405 litres. At 20oC water weighs 0.9982kg/l, so an Imperial gallon being 4.546 litres weighs 4.546 X 0.9982 = 4.538kg.


How are huge steel ships able to cruise the oceans?

i assume you mean cruise the oceans and not sink because they weigh so much. This is because of the displacement of the water they are sitting in. Take a 5 gallon bucket and try to push it down into water with the open top the last to get wet. it displaces 5 gallons of water when almost about to go under. 5 gallons of water weighs 5 * 8.34 = 41.7 pounds. it takes 41.7 pounds of water to fill the bucket to the top and 41.7 pounds to sink it as well. big ships displace tons of water and weigh less then the water they displace.

How do you Convert pounds of chlorine to gallon?

You need to know the density of the chlorine which is affected by the temperature and pressure at which the chlorine is. Once you know the density, you can convert it using: density = mass/volume → volume = mass/density. You'll need to know the density in pounds per gallon.


How many gallons are in 61.7 pounds?

The estimate would be just under 8 gallons. Pounds is a unit of mass/weight. Gallons is a liquid measure. They do not convert cleanly. The density of the liquid being measured can make a big difference. If the liquid is water, there is 8 pounds to a gallon.
