How much does one shovel full of sand weight?

Answer 1

Dry sand weighs about 100 lbs. per cubic foot.

There are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard, so that would make the weight of dry sand about 2700 lbs. per cubic yard.

Answer 2

Once again, it depends on how much you have. A toy pail full of sand weighs less than a dumptruck full of sand. What you are really after is the sand's density, that is, its weight per unit volume. We can determine its denisty from its specific gravity. The SG of loose sand is 1.442, which means it is 44.2 percent denser than water. Water has a denity of exactly 1000 kg/m3. Therefore, a cubic meter of loose sand weighs 1442 kg.

Answer 3

Dry sand has a density about 2.5 times that of water.

Wet sand is slightly denser, at 3.0 times that of water.

Half a cubic foot of dry sand would therefore weigh 78 pounds.

Same amount of wet sand would weigh 93.5 pounds.

Answer 4

Seeing as a yard of sand is only in one dimension, it ways nothing, retard

Hey you are the retard because it is the norm to call a cubic yard just a yard when talking about such things and the answer is aprox 2800 lb

Answer 5

A dry shovel of sand weight 9 lbs a slightly wet shovel weights 11 lbs. So we average 10 lbs.

Answer 6

i looked it up and sand is roughly 1.2 times heavier than water. so about 10 lbs per gallon since water is 8.3 lbs per gallon.

Answer 8
