Which weighs more - a pound of water or a pound of sand?

They are equivalent.


When a marble is dropped in a bucket of water it sinks to the bottom. Is it because the marble weighs more than an equivalent volume of the water or the marble has greater mass volume than the water O?

All of the above? You can say the same thing in many ways. All of the following are different ways of saying the same thing, and all are correct: The marble sinks because the marble weighs more that an equivalent volume of water. The marble sinks because its density is greater than the density of water. The marble sinks because it has a greater mass than than same volume of water (and there is gravity/acceleration).


Which one is greater 30mL or 30cm3?

By definition, a milliliter is the amount of water that will fit into 1 cubic centimeter. So, 30mL and 30cc are equivalent.


How much centimeters of rain are in 20 centimeters of snow?

The water equivalent of snow varies, but as a general rule, 20 centimetres of freshly fallen snow is equivalent to 2 cm of rain. If the snow has been lying around for a while then its density will increase.


What is the weight of a block of ice twenty four inches by twenty four inches by twenty four inches if ice weighs ninety two percent as much as water and water weighs 62.5 pounds per cubic foot?

The volume of the block of ice is 2ft * 2ft * 2ft or 8 ft3. The equivalent weight of 8 cubic feet of water is 8ft3 * 62.5 lb/ft3 or 500 lbs. To find the weight of ice take 92% of the equivalent weight of water or 0.92 * 500 lbs = 460 lbs
