When you walk across dry sand you sink when you walk across wet sand you do not sink why?

As the dry sand is loosely packed/coupled with each other thus the substancial force which are required to hold each granual is less as compared to the wet sand. when the sand is wet the forces of attraction increases as the each granual of the sand is easily coupled increasing the substancial force. thus a person can walk over wet sand rather than on a dry sand

Why does dry sand weigh more than wet sand?

Anyone who has dug a shovelful of wet sand and a shovelful of dry sand will tell you that the wet sand is quite a bit heavier than the dry sand. Dry sand is composed of individual particles with air in the spaces between grains. When you add water to a bucket of dry sand, the water replaces the air. Although the bucket is already full of sand, you can pour in quite a bit of water, adding that much more weight. If you have a choice of which bucket to carry, pick the bucket of dry sand every time!
