How many pounds of force is it to push a 5 gallon bucket under water?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
If the bucket is empty, and sealed so that no water can get in it, then it takes
41.8 pounds (minus the empty weight of the bucket) to completely submerge it.

The force required to push a 5-gallon bucket underwater would depend on the buoyancy force exerted by the volume of water displaced by the bucket. This force would be equal to the weight of the water displaced, which can be calculated based on the density of water (about 62.4 pounds per cubic foot). Therefore, you would need a force greater than the buoyancy force to push the bucket underwater.

Gallon of gas to pounds?
The weight of a gallon of gas can vary depending on the type of gasoline, but on average, a gallon of gasoline weighs about 6.3 pounds.
How much does water weight per gallon?
First you need to define what you mean by gallon; an Imperial gallon is 4.546 litres, a US gallon is 3.785 litres, and a US dry gallon is 4.405 litres. At 20oC water weighs 0.9982kg/l, so an Imperial gallon being 4.546 litres weighs 4.546 X 0.9982 = 4.538kg.
What units can be used to measure force?
newtons are the most common unit when you measure force.
How many gallons of propane in a lb of propane?
There are approximately 0.236 gallons of propane in one pound of propane.
How much does 1 gallon of ice cream weigh?
8.35 pounds. Because ice is a solid, technically you cannot measure ice using gallon as the units. However, a gallon of water that has turned to ice will have the same weight before and after freezing. This will not be true if the temperature is lowered even further or the ice is under pressure. At 4 degrees C, just before freezing, a gallon of water weighs 3.79 kg or 8.35 pounds. =============================================================================== All the above do not take into account that water expands in volume as it freezes (that is why Ice floats) thus if you started with a gallon of water, you would have more than a gallon of ice. The density of ice is 0.9169, the density of water is 1.0 Therefore a gallon of Ice will weigh 7.5598405 pounds or 3470.4665 grams, while a gallon of water weighs 8.245 pounds or 3785 grams.
Gallon of gas to pounds?

What is the weight resistance of a gallon jug filled with air under water?
The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid (Archimedes Principle). A gallon jug underwater will have a buoyant force equal to the weight of the displaced water: eight pounds. The total weight will also include the normal downward weight of the jug itself and the air it contains.
How much a gallon of hot water weigh?
A touch under 8 pounds.
Why it is easier to lift a bucket full of water under the surface of water?
It is easier to lift a bucket full of water underwater because the buoyant force acting on the submerged bucket reduces the effective weight you have to lift. This buoyant force is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the bucket, making it feel lighter to lift.
4 gallons equals how many pounds?
4 US gallons of water is approximately 34.12 pounds.
How many gallon o cups in a bucket?
It depends on the bucket. Most commercially available buckets (galvanized tin [steel]) have often been equal to 2.5 gallons or 10 quarts. #10 buckets (or cans) [15 cups]are just under 1 gallon in size or 4 quarts and more commercially available today is 5 gallon (20 quart) plastic buckets. There is 16 cups per gallon so these various buckets hold 40 cups, 15 cups [#10 bucket] , and 80 cups volume. ** All measurements are using US liquid measure.
How are huge steel ships able to cruise the oceans?
i assume you mean cruise the oceans and not sink because they weigh so much. This is because of the displacement of the water they are sitting in. Take a 5 gallon bucket and try to push it down into water with the open top the last to get wet. it displaces 5 gallons of water when almost about to go under. 5 gallons of water weighs 5 * 8.34 = 41.7 pounds. it takes 41.7 pounds of water to fill the bucket to the top and 41.7 pounds to sink it as well. big ships displace tons of water and weigh less then the water they displace.

How many pounds of force does a mousetrap have at half of it's full velocity?
At half of its full velocity, a mousetrap typically exerts around 2-3 pounds of force. This force is generated as the spring within the mousetrap is still under tension but has not fully extended yet.
