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.
There are 2,000 pounds in a ton, so if you have a ton of sand, it would equal 2,000 pounds.
Please note that there are different kinds of sand. A table on the site "Engineeringtoolbox" lists densities between about 80 and 125 pounds per cubic foot, depending on the type of sand, and on whether it is dry or wet.
The weight of sand can vary depending on its composition, but on average, dry sand weighs about 100-120 pounds per cubic foot. Therefore, 24 gallons of sand would weigh approximately 200-240 pounds.
Sand sinks in water, so it is more dense. Density = mass/volume. Or Volume = Mass/Density. For the same mass, more dense substance will take up less volume. So the water takes up more space.
Approximately 15 pounds of sand can be suspended in a gallon of water, but this can vary depending on the type of sand and the density of the water.
(4) x (depth of the sand in inches) x (density of the sand in ounces per cubic inch) pounds
100 x 1/4 *1/12 = 2.08 cu ft = about 208 pounds of sand
One inch = 1/12 foot 1500 x 1/12 = 125 cubic feet sand weighs 100 pounds /cu ft weight = 100 x 125 = 12500 pounds at 2000 lbs/ton that is 12500/2000 = 6.25 tons
(33.33)/(the number of cubic feet in each bag)
14,300 pounds. Sand has a density of 100 pounds per cubic foot.
At 12 inch per foot that is 3.14x30x30*2/12/4 = 117.75 cubic feet of sand at 100 pounds per cubic foot = 11,775 pounds (5.88 tons). Since a yard is 27 cubic feet that is 117.75/27 = 4.4 yards

It depends on the size of the sack. A standard sack of sand typically contains 50 pounds.
That depends on how deep the sand is.
In your lifetime, you use at least 1,000,000 pounds of stone,sand, and gravel.
The volume of sand weighs 455x 2/12 *100 pounds per cubic foot = 7600 pounds so you need about 152 bags.
