How much does one square foot of ice weigh?
Answer

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.

How much does a cubic foot of ice weigh?
Once cubic foot of water weighs 62lbs water expands 4% when
frozen, so..... one cubic foot of water becomes 1.04 cubic feet of
ice, so..... one cubic foot of ice should weigh 59.52 lbs I
surmized this by subtracting 4% from the weight of the water since
1.04 cubic feet of ice weighs the same as one cubic foot of water
and because we only want the weight of one cubic foot of ice.
1water = 1.04Ice = 62lbs so (1.04Ice...

How much does 1 cubic foot of crushed ice weigh?
It depends how small it is crushed and how tightly it's packed.
The smaller it's crushed and more tightly it's packed, the heavier
it is as there is more ice and less space between the pieces of
ice. In the most finely crushed and firmly packed volumes of the
frozen stuff, the cubic foot of crushed ice will approach being a
solid block. A cubic foot of water weighs about 62.4 pounds. A
solid block of ice of the same volume...

What does 12 sq in x 1 in ice weigh?
For a rough idea, we'll assume at first that ice has the same
density as water ...
62.43 pounds per cubic foot at its maximum density.
The volume described in the question is 12 x 1 = 12 cubic inches
= 1/144 cubic foot,
so it would weigh 6.937 ounces.
But wait ! We all know that ice doesn't weigh as much
as water ... it floats in water.
The only density I could find for ice is 0.9167 gm/cm3 right at
the freezing...

How much weight can one sq ft of ice hold?
That depends on the thickness of the ice.
It also depends on the shape of the outline of the 1 square
