Well,
1 cubic yard of water at 68 degrees Fahrenheit weighs 1,681.297 pounds.
There are 27 cubic feet in 1 cubic yard, and there are 7.48 gallons in each cubic foot, and 1 gallon of water at 68 degrees weighs 8.3249.
The Math: 27 x 7.48 x 8.3249 = 1,681.297 pounds.
The density of water changes ever so slightly depending on it's temperature.
The weight of one cubic yard of soil can vary depending on the type of soil being measured. On average, a cubic yard of dry topsoil can weigh around 2,000 to 2,700 pounds, whereas a cubic yard of moist loam soil can weigh between 2,700 to 3,000 pounds. It's important to account for moisture content when calculating the weight of soil.
Answer: A cubic foot of top soil weighs in the neighborhood of 75 - 100 pounds. There are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard. Hence, one cubic yard of top soil weighs between 2025 and 2700 pounds.
Moisture content would make this figure variable
That all depends on what is in the cubic yard.
A cubic yard of air weighs very little.
A cubic yard of water weighs a lot.
A cubic yard of concrete weighs even more.
An empty cubic yard weighs nothing at all.
One Cubic Yard is 27 Cubic Feet. 3' x 3' x 3' = 27 cu. ft. One Gallon of Water is .133681 cubic feet. 27 divided by .133681 = 201.96 or just about 202 gallons.
One cubic foot will hold 7.48 gallons of water. 7.48 x 27 cubic feet = 202 gallons per cubic yard. (Same arithmetic going the other direction).
None, since there can be no conversion.
A cubic yard is a measure of volume. A weight measures a different characteristic of an object and so, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid.
It depends entirely on what is within that cubic yard. -eg, a cubic yard of wet concrete will weigh about 4,000 pounds whereas a cubic yard of dry loam will weigh about 2,000 pounds
1 gallon (UK) weighs 10lb. 1 cu foot contains 6.25 gallons (6 1/4) 1 cu yard contains 27 cu ft. Therefore 1 cu yd weighs 27 X 6.25 X 10 lb = 1687.5 lb or 767.045 kg
The answer depends on the density of the material. A cubic yard of air will weigh somewhat less than a cubic yard of lead!

How much does 1 cubic yard of top soil weigh?
The weight of 1 cubic yard of topsoil typically ranges from 1,000 to 1,300 pounds, depending on the moisture content and composition of the soil.
How much does one cubic yard of top soil weight?
Depending on the material and moisture content anywhere from around a ton to 1.5 tons.
Weight of 40 yard dump truck Weight loaded with 40 yards of soil Weight loaded with 40 yards of concrete?
The weight of a 40-yard dump truck alone is approximately 25,000 to 40,000 pounds. When loaded with 40 yards of soil, the weight can increase to around 80,000 to 100,000 pounds, depending on the density of the soil. If loaded with 40 yards of concrete, the weight can be even higher, ranging from 100,000 to 120,000 pounds due to the heavier weight of concrete compared to soil.
How many pounds does one yard of topsoil weight?
One cubic yard of topsoil typically weighs between 2,000 to 2,700 pounds, depending on its moisture content and composition.
How many square feet is in a yard of soil?
The language used in this question indicates some confusion, so we must clarify some points first.First, although a yard is a unit of length, when you go to a commercial garden center, a "yard" of soil is really a cubic yard. In other words, it's a volume; it has length, width, and height (or depth). But people in the business just call it a yard.Second, a square foot is a unit of area, not volume, so you cannot convert from cubic yards to square feet. However, a cubic yard of soil will cover a certain area of ground, but you have to know how deep you want the soil to be.If you're covering the ground to do a reseeding of lawn, it doesn't have to be too deep, so a (cubic) yard will cover a good amount of ground, but if you're filling in some flower beds or vegetable garden, it won't cover as much area.A cubic yard of soil will cover approximately an 18' x 18' square (324 square feet) to a depth of one inch.
How much does 1 cubic yard of top soil weigh?
The weight of 1 cubic yard of topsoil typically ranges from 1,000 to 1,300 pounds, depending on the moisture content and composition of the soil.
How much does one cubic yard weight?
1 cubic yard of what?
How much does 1 cubic yard of cement weight?
What is the weight of one cubic yard of cement? If you are asking the weight of 1 cubic yard of CONCRETE it is approximately 2 tons or 4000 pounds per cubic yard when wet.
How much does one cubic yard of top soil weight?
Depending on the material and moisture content anywhere from around a ton to 1.5 tons.
Weight of one cubic yard of general trash?
The weight of one cubic yard of general trash can vary depending on the density and composition of the trash. On average, it can weigh between 800 to 2,000 pounds.
How much top soil does it take to fill a cubic yard?
Well.....A cubic yard is a measure of volume, so the answer is....it takes a cubic yard (IE it would fill a box that was one yard wide by one yard long by one yard high. If you follow this link (http://www.rexius.com/faq.html) you will see a cubic yard of soil typically weighs around 1300 to 1600 lbs. To give you an alternate form of measurement, you are looking for 27 cu ft to fill a cubic yard of topsoil.
How many bags of top soil weighing forty pounds each would it take to make one cubic yard of top soil?
A good average density for topsoil is 100 pounds per cubic foot. There are 27 cubic feet in one cubic yard, and so one cubic yard weighs around 2,700 pounds.2,700/40 = 67.5Therefore, it will take about 67.5 forty pound bags to make one cubic yard of topsoil.
Weight of 40 yard dump truck Weight loaded with 40 yards of soil Weight loaded with 40 yards of concrete?
The weight of a 40-yard dump truck alone is approximately 25,000 to 40,000 pounds. When loaded with 40 yards of soil, the weight can increase to around 80,000 to 100,000 pounds, depending on the density of the soil. If loaded with 40 yards of concrete, the weight can be even higher, ranging from 100,000 to 120,000 pounds due to the heavier weight of concrete compared to soil.
What is the weight of one cubic yard of carbon steel?
2,700 lbs.
How many liters of soil in a cubic yard?
None, since there can be no conversion.An inch is a measure of length in 1-dimensional space while a cubic yard is a measure of volume in 3-dimensional space. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, any attempt at conversion from one to the other is fundamentally flawed.
What is the weight of one cubic yard of three quarter inch gravel?
2850 pounds per yard
How many cubic yard of concrete in pounds of cement?
It depends on the density of the material. Cubic yards is a measure of volume. Pounds is a measure of weight. For example, one cubic yard of feathers will weigh fewer pounds than one cubic yard of lead.
