Best Answer

Weight itself is not a unit. It what we would measure in terms of pounds, ounces. These are units of weight.

Note that this uses the common definition of 'weight'. Strictly speaking, the pound, ounce, gramme, etc are all units of mass, not weight. Weight is the force produced by the mass subject purely to the acceleration due to gravity (9.8m/s^2 or 32ft/s^2 on Earth).

What is the weight of a liter of topsoil?

The weight of any material depends on the unit weight of the material. Every material has a unit weight and is in effect the density of it. The calculation is then to work out the volume of material (l x b x h) then multiply it by the unit weight. As an example the unit weight of water is 1000kg/m3. This means 1m3 of water is equal to 1 tonne. Concretes unit weight is 2400kg/m3 so Volume(m3) x 2.4 is equal to weight in tonnes. As a guess I would say topsoil has a unit weight of around 1.8 (just a guess) therefore 1 litre would be 0.001m3 x 1.8 = 0.0018 tonnes = 1.8kg. Hope this helps!
