If it's full of water, then the water in it weighs about 106.5 pounds. I have
no way of knowing what the empty hose weighs by itself. Whatever it is,
you'll need to add that to 106.5 pounds.

How much water can a 50 ft section of 3 inch hose hold in gallons?
A water hose is a cylinder, and since the volume of a cylinder is pi*r^2*height, we can calculate the volume of the water hose by finding the radius and height. A 3 inch hose has a radius of 1.5 inches, and 50 ft is equal to 600 inches, so 1.5^2 is 2.25, and 2.25*600 is 1,350. Finally we multiply by Pi to get approximately 4,239 cubic inches. Since 1 cubic inch is equal to 0.00432 gallons, there are 18.3506 gallons.

How does a fire hose stop a fire?
A fire hose is used to stop a fire by its ability to transfer water. The hose will deliver water from a source through a nozzle and onto the flames. We typically find a hose connected to a pump, which provides water under pressure. The hose will deliver that pressurized water to the nozzle, and a firefighter can direct the stream as needed.

How fire pump work?
when there is a fire the fire engine pulls up and hopefully connects a hose to a fire hydrant and that brings water into the engine. The fire engine then pumps the water from the hydrant to the engine and finally to the hoses and they help pump water up to the hose to stop a fire.
How far does water travel from a fire hose?
There are many different types of fire hoses, but the type you're probably picturing is called an "attack hose" that's the hose that takes water from the pumping system to the nozzle. It's the business end of the operation. The typical attack hose is 1530 cm long and has an inner diameter of as much as 7.6 cm. The volume of a hose is the length of the hose, times the area of its circular cross-section. With an inner diameter of 7.6 cm, an attack hose has a cross-section of πr2=3.14*3.8^2= 45.34 square cm. So, the volume of water in a full attack hose is 1530*45.34= 69370.2 cubic cm. That's about 18.32 gallons.
