A square yard is a measurement in 2 dimensions, length and width. Since there is no depth measurement in a square yard, therefore, a square yard of water has no weight. However, "...a cubic yard is 27 cubic feet, and a cubic foot of water weighs about 62.4 pounds, so 62.4 x 27 gives you...about 1685 pounds." (http://saluqi.home.netcom.com/ticklinx1.htm)

JudyThat is an unanserable question. Square foot means an area and for a weight you need at least a volume.
To have weight it must also be a three dimensional unit, things don't have weight in the flatlands. A cubic foot of water weighs 62.42796 Pounds. A cube is the three dimensional version of a two dimensional square, a foot of depth being the difference between a square and a cube.

What does a gallon of sea water weight?
approx. 3,8 kg.
Why does water pressure increase as you dive deeper?
Water pressure increases with depth due to the weight of the water above exerting force down onto the water below. The greater depth results in a larger column of water pressing down, leading to higher pressure levels. This increase in pressure is proportional to the depth underwater.
How much weight will 1 cu ft displacement of air support?
The weight that 1 cubic foot of air can support depends on the density of the air. At sea level and room temperature, 1 cubic foot of air can support approximately 0.08 pounds. However, this value can vary based on factors such as altitude and temperature.
How much does sea water weigh per cubic foot?
The weight of sea water really depends on a number of variables, including the temperature, the amount of salt (salinity) and whatever other foreign items may be present, and the depth, thus the pressure. But to get to the basic answer, seawater, at the surface, on average weighs 1027 kg/m3, or just over 64.1 lbs per cubic foot. ----------- The question is another way of asking for density of salt water. Salt water has greater density than that of fresh water, due to the dissolved salt. Fresh water has a density of 1000 kg/cubic meter vs. an average density of 1027 kg/cubic meter for ocean salt water.
What describes how salty sea water is?
Sea water is typically around 3.5% salt by weight, or 35 parts per thousand. This salinity can vary based on location and factors like evaporation and precipitation. It is this salt content that gives sea water its characteristic salty taste.
