How much weight will a capped 6 inch PVC pipe 10 feet long support in water on a raft?
One cubic foot of water weighs 62.42796 pounds. The volume of a 10 foot long 6 inch diameter cylinder is 1.96350 cubic feet, thus it displaces 122.5770 pounds of water when fully submerged. As I do not know the wall thickness of the PVC pipe and caps you plan to use I cannot calculate its weight. However if I assume for illustration purposes that the pipe weighs 5 pounds per foot and each cap weighs 2 pounds, then the capped pipe weighs 54 pounds. Subtracting this would mean that the capped pipe will support 68.5770 pounds when fully submerged. Do not trust this final number because as I stated I guessed at the weight of the PVC components so that I could illustrate the calculation. Determine the actual weight of the PVC components you are using yourself and recalculate that final subtraction. Also for safety you should provide a margin of at least 10% on your final values to allow for anything that may not have been accounted for.

What is the weight of 1 square foot of sea water?
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)
How many watts do you need in a PA system for 5000-10000 people?
For a crowd of 5000-10000 people, you would typically need a PA system with at least 10000-20000 watts of power to ensure sufficient coverage and volume. It's also important to consider the size of the venue, acoustics, and the type of event when determining the wattage needed for a PA system.
