A register ton is a unit used in describing the cargo capacity of a ship, = 100 cubic feet (approximately 2.83 cubic meters). Called a tonneau de mer in Belgium. In France, the tonneau de mer is 1.44 cubic meters (about 1.88 cubic yards).

This question cannot be answered sensibly. A cubic foot is a measure of volume, with dimensions [L3]. A tonne is a measure of mass, with dimensions [M]. The two measure different things and basic dimensional analysis teaches that you cannot convert between measures with different dimensions such as these without additional information.

As a simple mental exercise consider a cubic foot of air and of water. They will have very different masses.

Answer 2

There are approximately 27 cubic feet in a ton. The exact conversion factor depends on the material being measured, as different materials have different densities.

Answer 3

A foot is a measure of distance while a ton is a measure of weigh or mass. one cannot be compared to the other.

Answer 4

Feet is a measure of length, ton is a measure of weight, the two do not compare.
