A object weighing 10 pounds with a volume of 1 cubic foot will sink until

0.16 of its volume is under water, and the remaining 0.84 of its volume is

above the surface. At that point, the weight of the displaced water is

(0.16 cubic foot) x (62.5 pounds/cubic foot) = 10 pounds,

and the object will float at that depth, and sink no further.

The sinking depth of a cubic foot weighing 10 pounds will depend on the density of the material it is floating in. If the density of the material is less than the density of the cubic foot, it will float. However, if the density of the material is greater, it will sink until the weight of the displaced material equals the weight of the cubic foot.

A yard of concrete is a measure of volume. A square foot is a measure of area. A cubic yard is 27 cubic feet of stuff. (3x3x3)To relate volume to area you must extend the area over a third dimension.
