The answer depends on the grain size, lithology, moisture content, and level of compaction of the sand. Generally, one cubic ft of clean (no silt/clay), dry, fine to medium sand that has been compacted to a dense, non-yielding condition will weigh about 110 lbs., while a loose fine to medium sand will weigh about 100 lbs. per cubic foot.
Start with a conversion factor. An "old timer's" view is that a cubic foot of dry sand weighs about 125 pounds. There are 3 feet in a yard. There are 3 x 3 or 9 square feet in a square yard. There are 3 x 3 x 3 or 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard. As there are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard and there are 125 pounds to a cubic foot of our dry sand, there are 27 x 125 pounds of dry sand per cubic yard, or 3,375 pounds of dry sand per cubic yard. (Yes, there are that many.) There are 2,240 pounds in an Imperial ton. There are 3,375 divided by 2,240 Imperial tons in a cubic yard of dry sand, or right at 1.5 Imperial tons of dry sand per cubic yard. To convert cubic yards of dry sand to Imperial tons, multiply the number of cubic yards of dry sand by 1.5 and your answer will appear. Every time.
At 12 inch per foot that is 3.14x30x30*2/12/4 = 117.75 cubic feet of sand at 100 pounds per cubic foot = 11,775 pounds (5.88 tons). Since a yard is 27 cubic feet that is 117.75/27 = 4.4 yards
sand weighs 100 pounds per cubic foot you have 100 x 50 x3/12 cu ft = 1250 cubic feet 1250 x 100 = 125,000 pounds = 125000/2000 = 62.5 tons
1 cubic meter = 35.3 cubic feet sand weighs 100 pounds per cu ft 35.3 x 100 = 3530 pounds 1 ton = 2000 pounds 3530/2000 = 1.76 tons
It depends on the density of the sand. Certainly, you are talking about 56 cubic feet, but you will need to know the bulk density of sand to figure out how much that weighs.
14,300 pounds. Sand has a density of 100 pounds per cubic foot.
Please note that there are different kinds of sand. A table on the site "Engineeringtoolbox" lists densities between about 80 and 125 pounds per cubic foot, depending on the type of sand, and on whether it is dry or wet.

1 kg = 2.2 pounds sand weighs 100 pounds per cubic foot 2.2/100 = .022 cubic feet one cubic yard = 27 cubic feet .022/27 = 0.00081 cubic yards
The weight of river sand can vary depending on its moisture content, but on average, river sand weighs about 2,600 pounds per cubic yard. So, for 100 cubic feet, you would be looking at approximately 3,704 pounds of river sand.
0ne half cubic foot. One cubic foot is 100 pounds
You need 4.27 cubic feet. Weight in pounds is deceptive for sand depending on how wet or dry the sand is.
10 cubic yards is 270 cubic feet and sand weighs 100 pounds per cubic feet for total of 27000 pounds which is 27000/50 = 540 bags. Sounds like you need to have it trucked in.
A 2500 square foot area x 4' deep is 10000 cubic feet. So you need 10,000 cubic feet of sand. Dry sand has a density of 80-100 pounds or so per cubic foot, so that's somewhere between 800,000 and a million pounds of sand.
The weight of one cubic foot of sand can vary depending on the type and density of the sand. On average, one cubic foot of sand weighs between 90-110 pounds, which is equivalent to approximately 40-50 kilograms.
60,000 cubic feet of dry sand weighs approximately 3000 tons.
