neglecting the weight of the steel drum and assuming a gallon weighs 8.2 pounds in Americian units, the calc would be 55 X 8.2 = 451 pounds. The extra weight of the steel drum would sink it from this nutral boyancy state. Also,55 gallon drums only hold 50 or so gallons.

If you climb into a 55 gallon drum full of water will the weight increase by your exact body weight?
Yes. As long as you don't spill any of the water out of the drum when you get in, the total weight of the drum and water with you in it will be equal to the weight of the drum and the water plus the weight of you, separately. It doesn't matter if you float or sink. It will weigh about the same as it did before you climbed in. First, the answer above this one is wrong because you cant climb into a full 55 gallon drum without spilling water. As you enter the water, you will displace that volume with your body which weighs close enough to water to weigh near enough the same minus the amount of bouancy.

Fill the 5-gallon drum. Pour the contents into the 3-gallon drum, filling it. Now you have 2 gallons left in the big one.Empty the 3-gallon drum. Pour the 2 gallons into it. At this point there is room for one more gallon.Now refill the 5-gallon drum and pour off as much as it takes to fill up the small one. That means you are removing one gallon.Now you have exactly 4 gallons in the 5-gallon drum.or Fill the 3 gallon drum. Pour the contents into the 5 gallon drum. Refill the the 3 gallon drum and pour the contents into the 5 gallon drum until it is full. Empty the 5 gallon drum. You have 1 gallon left in the 3 gallon drum. Pour the remaining 1 gallon into the 5 gallon drum. Re-fill the 3-gallon drum and pour that into the 5 gallon drum giving you 4 gallons. or Tip the 5 gallon drum and fill it until water is level to both the bottom and spilling out the top; next do the same with the 3 gallon drum; then pour the half full 3 gallon drum into the half full 5 gallon drum, rusulting in 2.5 plus 1.5 equals 4 gallons! orWatch Die Hard 3 for the answer.
