How many cups of water do you use to steam 2 lbs of green beans?

It depends on the diameter of your pan. You need enough water to cover the bottom of the pan without boiling away before the beads are done, but no so much that it comes up above the bottom of the steamer basket. Then you would have BOILED beans rather than steamed! ;-)
I would guess that one cup would be about right for a 4 quart pot (which should be big enough to hold two pounds of beans).

Green beans are an agricultural product, and there will be variations depending on the soil it is raised in, the weather while it was growing, how much water they have lost since harvest, etc. There's been some research into the shrinkage and density of green beans as they dried, published in the Journal of Food Quality,Volume 31, Issue 3, pages 323-346, June 2008, if you are sufficiently interested in that particular answer to pay for the article.If you're talking of canned green beans, a #300 can contains 1.75 cups and Del Monte puts 14.5 ounces of no-salt cut green beans in such a can. Converting, we find that's 411 grams in 1.75 cups, and that is 235 grams per cup. Cooked fresh green beans would be very similar in density, as long as you took the ham bone out of the pot liquor before doing your measurements.
