NO. You would not survive drinking that much water. Drinking a lot of water in a short time destroys the body's chemical balance. Drinking 3 quarts in a day could be dangerous; and five gallons is 20 quarts.
water and lots of it
possibly... but it isn't that simple
There are 16 cups for every gallon of water. There are also 128 ounces in a gallon.
Weigh an empty container; pour a gallon of water into it. Weigh it again. Calculate the difference. That is the weight of the gallon of water.
"Weight" is a number that those in the know call a "scalar" ... a number that has no direction ... which means that there's no such thing as 'horizontal' weight. The weight of a gallon of water is about 8.35 pounds. That's the force of gravity trying to pull the earth and the gallon of water together. It acts in the direction toward the center of the earth, which is the direction we call 'vertical', so there's never any part of the weight acting horizontally.
It depends whether you're trying to move down a weight class or move up a weight class. Some people I know don't drink or eat anything at all when trying to lose weight -- and if they drink something, it's water, and after they drink it they go running like crazy.
No, some of the water is absorbed into the body.
The weight of a gallon of water is about 8.34 pounds at 17 degrees Celsius. At different temperatures, the weight will be different. This is in Imperial measurements, where an Imperial gallon is equal to 4.54609 liters.
8lbs
1 US gallon equates to 128 US ounces. 1 Imperial gallon equates to 160 Imperial ounces.
no
The weight of a pail of water will depend on the volume of water it can hold. On average, water weighs about 8.34 pounds per gallon, so you can calculate the weight of the water by measuring the volume of water in the pail and multiplying it by the weight per gallon.
