The weight of soil can vary depending on its composition and moisture content. However, as a general guideline, the average weight of dry soil is approximately 75 pounds per cubic foot. Therefore, to calculate the weight of 1.5 cubic feet of soil, you can multiply the weight per cubic foot (75 pounds) by the volume (1.5 cubic feet): Weight = Volume × Weight per cubic foot Weight = 1.5 cubic feet × 75 pounds per cubic foot Weight = 112.5 pounds So, approximately 1.5 cubic feet of soil would weigh around 112.5 pounds. Keep in mind that this is an average estimation and the actual weight can vary depending on the specific characteristics of the soil.
It is difficult to say exactly what the weight of the soil is, which depends on the composition; but an estimate per the related link is around 1500 pounds per cubic yard. This converts to 1 cubic yard of soil weighs 1500/2000 tons or 3/4 ton. So, a ton of soil will be approximately 4/3 or 1 1/3 cubic yards.

It varies, depending upon how moist the soil is and how packed it is, but on average a cubic yard of topsoil weighs 2200 pounds, so a gallon will weigh about 10.9 pounds.
The soil density must be given to convert from a mass measure to a volume measure.Assuming a clay soil of density 1200 kg/cubic meter, then the volume is 1000/1200 cubic meter or 0.833 cubic meterAssuming a sandy soil of density 1500 kg/cubic meter, then the volume is 1000/15000 cubic meter or 0.667cubic meter

Don't know the weight of the truck alone -- google it. Concrete (wet) could be assumed to be 145 pounds per cubic foot, and there are 27 cubic feet in one cubic yard. Compacted damp to dry soil (at "optimum moisture" for compacting) might run around 110 to 120 pounds per cubic foot, and loose soil would be considerably less (assuming it's dry and not saturated).
150 pounds
It is difficult to say exactly what the weight of the soil is, which depends on the composition; but an estimate per the related link is around 1500 pounds per cubic yard. This converts to 1 cubic yard of soil weighs 1500/2000 tons or 3/4 ton. So, a ton of soil will be approximately 4/3 or 1 1/3 cubic yards.
a cubic meter of soil will weight 550-900 kg depending on its composition
2,000 pounds
The weight of any soil will depend on how saturated it is with water. A rule of thumb is that a cubic foot of saturated loamy soil weighs about 20 pounds. Saturated clay would be heavier because it is denser than loam. According to the 1980 edition of Architectural Graphics Standards, clay that is damp and plastic (moldable) weighs 110 lbs/sq. ft. while packed earthen mud weighs 115 and wet sand and gravel weighs 120 lbs/sq. ft.

The number of cubic yards that quint axle end dump truck could hold depends on the relative weight of the soil. Generally, soil weighs 2,000 to 2,700 pounds per yard. Since the capacity on the rear axles may be as much as 50,000 pounds, about 20 to 20 yards of soil could be carried by this type of truck.
Quarts is a measure of volume; pounds is a measure of weight. This posits that there is no standard conversion. The rate of quarts per pound will actually be dependent upon the density of the soil. A denser soil will weigh more; and therefore convert to less quarts per pound. For those not comparison shopping, the best thing you can do is weigh a quart or two of the soil you use for its particular rate. - Be sure to measure the empty container first and subtract its weight from the weight of the filled container for the correct weight of the soil! *** Based on my search on potting soil, each quart weights approximately 0.875 pounds; thus, 10 pounds means roughly 11.43 quarts.
At 100 pounds per cubic foot, that is 20 cubic feet per ton = 0.57 cubic meters
