Answer #1:
9 cubic yards cement weight nearly 1260 lbs
=============================
Answer #2:
Answer #1 is a very intriguing one. It says that 9 cubic yards (9 x 27 cubic feet)
of cement weighs nearly 1,260 pounds. If so, then each cubic foot would weigh
nearly 5.2 pounds, which corresponds to nearly 8.3% of the density of water.
So cement would float quite high in water. Mysteriously, it doesn't.
I found one online conversion reference that says that
1 cubic foot of Portland cement weighs 94.02 pounds.
(94.02 pounds/cubic foot) x (9 cubic yards) x (27 cubic foot/cubic yard) = 22,847 pounds(rounded)
Somehow, that sounds more like it.
Also, if the question actually meant 'concrete, limestone with Portland cement"
instead of 'cement', then the weight is nearly 60% greater than that.
