How much does 3 cubic yards of topsoil with a density of 125 pounds per cubic foot equal to in weight given in tons?

1 cubic yard is 27 cubic feet, so 3 cubic yards is 81 cubic feet. At 125 lb per cubic foot, that much topsoil would weigh 10,125 lb. At 2000 lb per ton, that converts to 5.0625 tons (if we assume complete precision of all the numbers - if not, then we would be limited to 1 digit of precision because the 3 in 3 cubic yards is only precise to 1 digit. In that case we would have to round the answer off to be 5 tons)

You mean a cubic metre. It depends on the type of soil and how wet it is. Sand, wet - 1.92 tonne/cubic metre Sand, wet, packed - 2.08 tonne/cubic metre Sand, dry - 1.60 tonne/cubic metre Sand, loose - 1.44 tonne/cubic metre Sand, rammed - 1.68 tonne/cubic metre You can measure it yourself on a small scale, because gram/cubic centimetre is the same as tonne/cubic metre. So one cc of wet sand weighs about 1.92 grams.

How many tons of dirt in 1 acre 10 feet deep?

To calculate the amount of dirt in 1 acre that is 10 feet deep, first convert the area from acres to square feet: 1 acre equals 43,560 square feet. Then, multiply the area by the depth in feet (10 feet): 43,560 sq ft × 10 ft = 435,600 cubic feet. Since there are approximately 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard, this equals about 16,133 cubic yards. Finally, considering that 1 cubic yard of dirt weighs roughly 1.5 tons, the total weight would be approximately 24,200 tons.
