Which weighs more sand or water?

a UK pint of water weighs a pound and a quarter.8xpints equal 1 UK gallon.answer 10lbs total weight a UK gallon of water.sand is measured in buckets not weight comparable.reckon equal weights.

Another way to look at is: Which is Denser; Water or Sand?You know sand sinks in water, therefore an equivalent Volume of Sand must be heavier than the same volume of water. However, the sand particles have quite a bit of air spaces between them , therefore it is possible that a cupful of sand may be almost the same weight as a cupful of water, but what you need to know is the comparable Densities, not the weights or volumes. Sand is definitely Denser than water.


Why does sand sink in water?

Sand and water both have weight and both have volume. A cup (volume) of sand weighs more than an equal volume of water. So the sand pushes the water out of the way and sinks. A cup of wood chips weighs less than an equal volume of water. So the water pushes the wood chips out of the way and they float. Try it and see.
