1/3 cu ft
For this, you can work out the volume of the cylinder of sand you need to fill. But you'll also need to know the density of the sand to convert this volume into weight.
A typical shovel holds about 1/2 cubic feet of soil. There are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard (commonly called a "yard"). Therefore, about 54 shovelfuls in a cubic yard.Note that the volume of a shovel will vary depending on its size and the stuff being shoveled. You can determine the volume of your shovel by experimenting with a 5-gallon pail (equal to about 5/8 of a cubic foot).
This is a volume calculation. I assume the dimension for the "6" is inches? If so, the volume= 20x20x0.5= 200 cubic ft.= 7.4 cubic yards
There can be no equivalence. A ton of sand represents the mass of a volume of sand. The volume is a 3-dimensional measure whereas a metre is a measure of length or distance in 1-dimensional space. According to basic rules of dimensional analysis, any attempt at conversion from volume to length is fundamentally flawed.
