What is the density of dirty water?
Just stating "contaminated" tells us nothing. What the water is contaminated with will determine the pH level - contaminate the water with an acidic substance and the pH will be higher than if you contaminate ith with an alkali.

it all builds up
How does water dissolve in dirt?
through the mechanism of garvity and density difference
How much does 0.165 cu yd of dirt weigh?
Because mass = volume x density you need to know this value of density to calculate the mass.
How many tons of dirt would it take to fill 5277.78 cubic feet?
Depends on the density of the 'dirt'. Assuming densith of about twice that of water. Water has a density of 62.4 lb/cu ft 5377.78 x 62.4 = A (weight of water) A x 2 = weight of the dirt This is in pounds so divide by 2000 to convert to tons.
How much dirt will it take to fill an area of 55' x 9' x 1'?
Depends on the density of the dirt... howver, I can tell you that the volume of that area is 495 cubic feet.
What is the density of one pound of dirt?
"dirt" is an extremely vague description and is virtually useless. There are hundreds of kinds of soil, sand and crushed stone that all have different weights and volumes.

How many pounds of dirt to fill hole 6' x 4' x 5'?
nist says avg dirt density is 120 lb/ft3 so, 6x4x5 = 120 ft3 120ft3 x 120lb/ft3 = 14400 lb
How many tons of dirt needed to fill a 13 x 20 x 6ft swimming pool?
Depends on the density of 'dirt'. I'll guess about 2.5 x that of water. 13 x 20 x 6 x 62.4 x 2.5 / 2000 = 121.68 tons of course if my guess for dirt is too high, just divide by 2.5 and multiply by the real specific gravity of dirt.
What is grass cover?

Why air is transperent?
Air is transparent because the molecules it is composed of are so tiny and spread out. Air has a very low density unlike solid materials like rocks or dirt.
How much does a cubic foot of dirt or manure weigh?
It depends on the moisture content of the manure and soil. Also it depends on the makeup of the soil. A cubic foot of smaller soil particles will weigh more than a very sandy soil which has larger particles.
