How many sand grains is in a cubic ft?
It depends on grain size, which can be as small as 0.004 inch or as big as 0.1 inch. If we take an average grain size of 0.02 inch diameter that is 0.00000043 cubic inch volume and a cubic foot is 1728 cubic inches then (not considering packing voids) that is 1728/.000000 = 4 billion grains!
What is the density of sand per cubic centimeter?
Since about 20 grains of sand lined up is 1cm, then I can use the volume formula (bwh) and subsitute in 20 grains of sand. 20*20*20=8000. There are about 8000 grains of sand in a cubic centimeter.
How many grains of sand are in one square inch?
It depends on the kind of sand you're talking about.There are five different types of sand, ranging from very fine to very course. Let's take the middle type of sand, which is medium sand.A grain of medium sand is between 1/50 of an inch and 1/100 of an inch. If you take the middle number between that range (~1/67), then we can estimate that a square inch of sand would have approximately 4500 grains of sand (67 squared is 4,489). This assumes a completely flat layer of sand one grain deep.A cubic inch of such sand would have just over 300,000 grains of sand.Obviously this number will vary based on the type of sand you're working with and can only be used for estimation purposes.IMPROVEMENT:Hmmm, first of all, the "middle number" would seem to be 1/75, not 1/67. Let's take 1/75.Second, the packing could be much denser than what the computation above seems to assume. With a denser packing of the grains of sand, a computation shows a shade less than 600,000 grains of 1/75" sand in a cubic inch.
How much area would a billion grains of sand fill?
If fine sand has roughly 100,000 grains per cubic inch, then I make that 5.8 cubic feet (or about 43 liquid gallons). In terms of AREA, that would depend on how thick you spread out that sand. In very rough terms, I would say it would take up about 9 normal buckets. (average bucket size is about 5 gallons) (1 cubic foot = (12x12x12) cubic inches = 1728 cubic inches) Therefore, 1 cubic foot contains 1728 x 100000 fine grains = 172800000 1000000000 / 172800000 = 0.1728 1 / 0.1728 = 5.787
What is the weight for 8 inch by 8 inch for sand weight?
(4) x (depth of the sand in inches) x (density of the sand in ounces per cubic inch) pounds
What is the volume of sand?
The volume of sand is about 1,602 grams per cubic centimeter. That is the equivalent of 0.926 ounce per cubic inch.
How many grains of sand can fit in a five gallon bucket?
About 2.0572 5-gallon buckets of sand in 1.6 cubic feet.
How many grains of sand in the Sahara?
there are 8 octillion grains of sand in Sahara and there are more rocks then sand in the Sahara.
How many grains of sand in a sand pail?
5,000,000,000
How many grains of sand on a beach?
There are over a billion grainsof sand on a beachThere are more stars than grains of sand
How many cubic yards of sand in one ton of coal?
Dry sand has a density of 100 pounds/cubic foot 1 ton = 2000 pounds 2000 pounds / 100 pounds/cubic foot = 20 cubic foot 20 cubic foot / 27 = 0.74 cubic yard So 1 ton is about 3/4 of a cubic yard
How many grains of sand are there in 2.00 moles of grains of sand?
Sand is not a compound and haven't a molar mass; also different types of sand exist.
