It would convert to about 240 pounds of contents, plus the weight of the drum. Pounds is a unit of mass/weight. Gallons is a liquid measure. They do not convert cleanly. The density of the liquid being measured can make a big difference. If the liquid is water, there is 8 pounds to a gallon.

A 30 gallon drum typically weighs around 20-30 pounds when empty. The weight can vary depending on the material the drum is made of, such as steel or plastic. If the drum is filled with liquid, the weight will obviously increase significantly.

None, since there can be no conversion.

A pound is a measure of mass. A gallon is a measure of volume. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid.

That depends upon what material it is made out of. Is it aluminum? Rubber? Steel? And on what planet are you? Things are lighter on Mars and heavier on Jupiter.

How much does 55 gallon drum of copper wire weigh?

Soil weighs about 2.5 times as much as water, which weighs about 8 pounds per gallon. However, one must estimate the porosity (void space) in the soil. Assuming 30% soil porosity means that one gallon of soil would weigh (0.7 x 2.5 x 8 pounds/gallon) about 14 pounds. Therefore, if full to the brim with soil (relatively dry), the drum would weigh about 770 pounds (that is, 55 gallons x 14 pounds/gallon). In reality, there is a range of possible weights, depending on soil density, moisture content, soil composition, etc.
