Topsoil varies in weight, depending on the type and texture, so it really depends.
A cubic yard of topsoil, if compacted to get the air pockets out will weigh more than 1 tone. If the topsoil is loose, a cubic yard of it could weigh about 1 ton. A lot depends on the topsoil, and whether it has more stone dust or less in it. The more moist the topsoil is, the more likely it will weigh more than a ton.
Topsoil is NEVER sold by the "truck-load". Usually in yards or tons, as there are several differant sizes of trucks... A "yard" of dry topsoil should weigh a little less than 1 ton.
A lot
Depending on where you live, in the UK 1 ton of Topsoil can cost anything from £45 lose up to £120 within a container. I hope this helps. www.gutteringdirect.com
1/2 of a load
Depends on the moisture content and the type of soil.
no, ether way iron is more dense than feathers
Depends on if by 'customary' you're referring to a short ton or a long ton. A short ton is less than a metric ton; a long ton is more than a metric ton.
A 3 ton is one more than a 2 ton.
one ton equals one cubic meter of soil was 100mm deep it would cover 7sqm
Anything that weighs in at more than a ton in weight, even if only measured in mircrogrammes!!
A ton is 2000 pounds
