Weight of drum + Weight of soil = weight of drum and soil.
Get some scales.
It depends on what's in the soil and how big your hands are.
It all depends on the weight of the soil and what type of soil it is to find how much two feet of soil weighs.
A yard of clay soil typically weighs about 2,700 to 3,000 pounds, depending on its moisture content and density.
The weight of a cubic yard of soil can vary depending on the type of soil, moisture content, and compaction. On average, a cubic yard of topsoil can weigh between 2,000-2,700 pounds. It's best to check with your local supplier for the specific weight of the soil you are purchasing.
The weight of 1 square inch of soil can be any positive number. It simply depends on how high the 1 square inch column of soil is.
Soil weighs about 2.5 times as much as water, which weighs about 8 pounds per gallon. However, one must estimate the porosity (void space) in the soil. Assuming 30% soil porosity means that one gallon of soil would weigh (0.7 x 2.5 x 8 pounds/gallon) about 14 pounds. Therefore, if full to the brim with soil (relatively dry), the drum would weigh about 770 pounds (that is, 55 gallons x 14 pounds/gallon). In reality, there is a range of possible weights, depending on soil density, moisture content, soil composition, etc.

55 gallons???
Density of loose soil is about 1200 kg/m3 1 cubic meter of soil may weigh more than this if compacted or moist.
That depends greatly on the moisture content of the soil.
wet = 876 pounds dry = 526 pounds Be advised that these are only estimates, as numerous factors come into play in determining weight (type soil, ratio of soil to liquid, etc.).
about 1500 pounds

~0.8kg
600-800 pounds dry, wet double that
