This is a tough one. First you have to decide which type of sand is 'sand'. Sand comes in many different grain sizes and in many different densities. If you have defined your sand, take a known volume, weigh it and do the math!
To find the weight of the water inside the wet sand, we first need to calculate the weight of the wet sand delivered: 135 cubic feet * 120 lbs/cubic foot = 16,200 lbs of wet sand. Next, we find the weight of the dry sand in the wet sand delivered: 135 cubic feet * 100 lbs/cubic foot = 13,500 lbs of dry sand. The weight of the water inside the wet sand is the the difference between the weight of the wet sand and the weight of the dry sand: 16,200 lbs (wet sand) - 13,500 lbs (dry sand) = 2,700 lbs of water.
The unit weight of machine sand typically ranges from about 100-150 pounds per cubic foot, depending on factors such as moisture content and compaction.
1 Cubic Yard of Sand can weigh between 2,600 to 3,000 lbs. or up to one and a half tons approximately. 1 Tonof Sand will cover between 80 to 100 square feet at a 2 inch depth approximately.
We're having trouble trying to decide where to start. -- There is no such thing as a "cubic ton". -- If you want to know the volume of sand, it'll be a cubic unit of length. If you want to know the weight of sand, it'll be a unit of force (or weight). -- "8 inches by forty feet" is an area ... a space on a flat surface ... and can't hold anything. -- In order to figure out how much water or sand something can hold, you need a third measurement. -- Even after you know the volume of the space you need to fill, if you want the weight of sand, then you still need to know the weight of some unit volume of sand, like maybe the "pounds of sand per cubic foot". (None of this response should be misconstrued to suggest that we are in any way telling you to go pound sand.)
Silica sand weighs approximately 99-125 pounds per cubic foot, depending on various factors such as the particle size and moisture content of the 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.

Dry sand weighs approximately 100 pounds per cubic foot. Wetted to achieve compaction, this sand could easily contain 10% moisture by weight, or 10 pounds of water per cubic foot of sand.Hope that helps...

The weight of 1 cubic yard of sand can vary depending on the type and moisture content of the sand. On average, dry sand weighs about 2,700 pounds per cubic yard.
The weight of Robo Silicon sand can vary depending on its moisture content and grading. On average, a cubic foot of Robo Silicon sand weighs around 90-100 pounds.
Well, darling, one cubic inch of sand weighs approximately 0.056 pounds. So if you're looking to add a little extra weight to your pockets, just grab yourself a handful of sand and you're good to go. Just remember, sand may be tiny, but it can sure pack a punch in the weight department.
Dry sand has a density of 100 pounds/cubic foot 1 ton = 2000 pounds 2000 pounds / 100 pounds/cubic foot = 20 cubic foot 20 cubic foot / 27 = 0.74 cubic yard So 1 ton is about 3/4 of a cubic yard

1 Cubic Yard of Sand can weigh between 2,600 to 3,000 lbs. or up to one and a half tons approximately. 1 Tonof Sand will cover between 80 to 100 square feet at a 2 inch depth approximately.
The weight varies; but if it's dry sand, the cubic meter will weigh around 1500 kilos.
