1 gallon = 231 cubic inches = 231/1,728 cubic ft

5 gallons = 5 x 231 / 1,728 cubic ft

The weight of water varies with temperature. At normal comfortable temperatures,

it's around 62.4 pounds per cubic ft.

Weight of 5 gallons = 5 x 231 x 62.4 / 1,728 = 41.7083 pounds (rounded), minus the weight of the container.

A five gallon container can provide around 40-45 pounds of flotation. This is because one gallon of water weighs approximately 8.34 pounds, and five gallons would weigh around 41.7 pounds. However, flotation capacity can vary depending on the design and material of the container.
