There is no answer to this question; it depends on a variety of issues, the biggest of which is the thickness of the ice. One square foot of one inch thick ice weighs significantly less than one square foot of one foot thick ice. The other factor involved is the density of the ice. The biggest factor here is the amount of air trapped in the ice. Temperature and air pressure can also affect ice density. The Dr. Math Forum addressed this issue in one of their postings. See the Web Links to the right for a link to their discussion.

Did you mean three CUBIC inches? You must start with a volume of something, first. Then multiply the volume you have by the substance's density to determine its weight. You must make sure your units are consistent, however. If you know the density of something in grams per cubic centimeter but your volume is in cubic inches or gallons or liters, you'll have to convert the volume to cubic centimeters.

It all depends on the size, material and maximum capacity of the bucket in question. It helps to be more specific with questions like these.


a 2.5 (10 Qt.) bucket will weigh about 20 lbs., a 5 gallon bucket about 40 lbs.

A cubic foot of ice weight less than a cubic foot of water. A gallon of water weights about 8 pounds. A cubic Foot 62.5 pounds. You need to know the volume of ice you are working with.

It depends on how much you have. Two scoops weigh twice as much as one scoop.

It depends on the size of the cube: there is no standard size.
