Best Answer

It all depends on what you have in the cubic feet.

-- If the cubic feet are full of air, they weigh about 8 pounds.

-- If they're full of water, they weight about 6,243 pounds (3.1 tons).

-- If they're full of lead, they weigh about 70,793 pounds (35.4 tons).

-- If the cubic feet are completely empty, they weigh exactly zero.

Weight of wet sand per cubic yard?

Clean quartz sand weighs 80-125 pounds per cubic foot depending on degree of compaction and moisture content. Usually folks figure sand at 100 pcf. There are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard. So to continue the answer the previous poster made... Using the 100 pcf average weight for sand, and that there are 27 cubic feet in a yard, then 1 yards is equal to 27 cubic feet and at 100 pcf, the total weight is 2700 lbs, or 1.35 tons.

What is the weight of one cubic inch of sand?

Silver has a density of 10.49 grams per cubic centimeter. There are 16.387 cubic centimeters in a cubic inch. Translates into 171.90 grams for a cubic inch of silver, which is about 6.06 ounces. WRONG!


How many yards of salt in 1 ton?

A cubic yard is a measure of volume (length in feet X width in feet X depth in feet/27=cubic yards) and tons is a measure of weight. The weight of a material depends on its density, therefore, to determine the number of yards in a ton of material, the density of the material must be known.Sand has an average weight of 2,700 pounds per cubic yard (Refer to Table 1 in this chart of material weights http://www.age.psu.edu/extension/factsheets/h/H20.pdf). One ton is 2,000 pounds, therefore, there are 1.35 Tons in one cubic yard of sand.Inversely, if 1.35 tons of sand is equivalent to one cubic yard of sand, then using a ratio (tons|cubic yards), there are 0.74 cubic yards in one ton of sand.For those of you that prefer to see this answer as a mathematical calculation:length in feet X width in feet X depth in feet/27=cubic yardsSand = 2,700 lbs/cubic yards (*This value is specific to Sand)*2,700 lbs|1 Cu Yd * 1 Ton|2,000 lbs = 1.35 Ton|Cu YdOR 1|1.35 = 0.74074 Cu Yd in 1 Ton of SandOf course nature is not precise with sand and it's weight may varying to some degree based on the grain size, the moisture content, etc.

How many cubic tonsof sand is in 8 inches by forty feet?

We're having trouble trying to decide where to start. -- There is no such thing as a "cubic ton". -- If you want to know the volume of sand, it'll be a cubic unit of length. If you want to know the weight of sand, it'll be a unit of force (or weight). -- "8 inches by forty feet" is an area ... a space on a flat surface ... and can't hold anything. -- In order to figure out how much water or sand something can hold, you need a third measurement. -- Even after you know the volume of the space you need to fill, if you want the weight of sand, then you still need to know the weight of some unit volume of sand, like maybe the "pounds of sand per cubic foot". (None of this response should be misconstrued to suggest that we are in any way telling you to go pound sand.)


How do you convert cubic feet to tones?

This question is incomplete. A tonne is a metric measure of mass ( more commonly expressed as weight ). Cubic feet measures volume. The conversion could only be made if you know the density of the material you want to calculate the conversion for. For example, wet sand, dry sand, loose gravel, compacted gravel, concrete, rough rock, and coal will all have different densities.
