How manys pounds is a cubic yard?

Answer 1

I found an online horse manure management book that says the density of horse manure is about 62 pounds per cubic foot. So a 40 pound bag of manure is 0.64 cubic feet and one pound of manure is 0.016 cubic feet.

Answer 2

The weight of a cubic yard depends on the material being measured. For example, a cubic yard of sand can weigh between 2,500 to 3,000 pounds, while a cubic yard of concrete can weigh around 4,000 pounds. It is important to know the specific material's density to calculate its weight accurately.

Answer 3

This question cannot be answered sensibly. A cubic yard is a measure of volume, with dimensions [L3]. A pound is a measure of mass, with dimensions [M]. Basic dimensional analysis teaches that you cannot convert between measures with different dimensions such as these without additional information.

It takes only a little mental effort to compare a cubic yard of air and a cubic yard of lead to see that the two will have very different masses.

Answer 4

Depends on the content but between 800-1400 lbs. Per yard.

Answer 5

One cubic yard of chicken manure will weigh approximately 35 ;pounds. Though many factors go into this and it could be slightly more, or slightly less.

Answer 6

20-30 pounds
