AnswerAn acre is 43,560 sq. ft. x 12 = 522,720 sq. in.

At a depth of one inch, it's the same number of cubic inches.

Water weighs 0.036127 lb/cu.in.

43560*12*.036127= 18,884.30544 pounds, or 9.44215272 tons

This is totally wrong. There is not 12 inches per square foot! There is 144 square iches in a square foot!

43560*144 = 6,272,640 square inches per acre!

6,272,640 cu. in. * 0.036127 lbs/cu. in. = 226611.7 lbs or 113.3 tons per inch or water on a acre!

The weight of one inch of water over one acre is 6.23 million pounds. This weight can be calculated by multiplying the volume of water (one acre inch) by the density of water (62.4 pounds per cubic foot).

1 acre foot is the volume of 1 foot deep, covering 1 acre area (43560 sq.ft). So 1 acre foot is equal to (1 ft) x (43560 ft²) = 43560 ft³. Using density of fresh water (usually acre foot refers to a fresh water situation) of 62.43 pounds per cubic foot, gives 2719450.8 pounds, or 1359.7 tons.

If i irrigate 3000 gallons of water over 4 acres how many inches per acre?

To find out how many inches of water are being applied per acre, you can use the formula: inches of water per acre = (total gallons of water * 0.133681) / total acres. In this case, 3000 gallons of water divided by 4 acres equals 750 gallons per acre. To convert gallons to inches, multiply 750 by 0.133681 to get approximately 100 inches of water per acre.


3 feet of water over one acre of land equals how many gallons?

One acre of land is equivalent to 43,560 square feet. With 3 feet of water covering this area, you would have 130,680 cubic feet of water. One cubic foot is equal to 7.48 gallons, so 130,680 cubic feet of water would be about 977,370 gallons.


What happen to the mass and weight of a glass of water left on a table over many days?

If the glass of water is left on the table over many days, the mass of the water will remain the same as the amount of water does not change. However, the weight of the glass of water may decrease slightly due to evaporation of the water, depending on environmental conditions like temperature and humidity.


How much does a person weight after drinking a gallon of water?

A gallon of water weighs about 8.34 pounds. However, the weight a person gains after drinking a gallon of water will not be permanent because the body will process and excrete the excess fluid over time.


How many PSI does 1 gallon of water create?

That depends on the surface area over which the weight of the gallon of water is distributed. Divide 8.34 pounds -- the weight of a gallon of water -- by the area, in square inches, the gallon is sitting upon. If the gallon of water is in a typical plastic jug that you buy at the grocery store, it's not creating much pressure at all -- only about 2.2 ounces per square inch.

One inch of rain equals how many gallons of water over 100 acres of land?

One inch of rain over 100 acres of land would equal about 27.1 million gallons of water. This calculation is found by multiplying the acreage (100 acres) by the volume of water in one inch of rain (27,154 gallons per acre-inch).


How many gallons is 1 inch of rain to a acre?

Well, you know there are 43,560 square feet in an acre, and you know there are 12 inches to a foot. The next clue you need is a conversion factor from volume in gallons to the units of area, which in this case is inches; so, there are 231 cubic inches to a gallon. You now have all the information you need to algebraically determine the number of gallons in an acre inch.

How many ounces are in 1 of rain?

You haven't put any units in against the '1' in your question, so do you mean 1 mm, or 1 inch or what? Anyway, rainfall is measured, maybe in inches, over the area on which it falls. So if you had a very local shower of 1 inch but it only covered 1 acre, the weight of rain would not be nearly so much as 1 inch on 20 acres.


How much water is one inch of rain over an acre?
