A little over 10 tons (20,000) pounds (about the weight of a large truck)
The weight needed to break ice depends on its thickness and strength. Generally, a person walking on ice may require about 1 inch of ice to support their weight, while a vehicle may need at least 7 inches. Smaller weights like a bird or squirrel may only need a thin layer of ice to break through.
For safety, ice should be at least 4 inches thick for a single person to walk on, and at least 5 inches thick for a small group or activity like ice fishing. For 1000 pounds, the ice would need to be much thicker, likely around 8-12 inches or more to ensure it can support the weight without breaking. It's always best to check with local authorities or experts on ice thickness recommendations for specific activities.
At least 12 inches of solid ice is generally recommended to support a small truck. However, ice thickness requirements can vary based on factors such as the weight of the vehicle and conditions of the ice. It's crucial to check local guidelines and use caution when driving on frozen lakes.
The weight of the water will stay the same whether ice, water or steam, because the mass has not changed.
There are too many variables to give a standard weight, but it will weigh the same as the weight of the water you started with (if we ignore vapor loss).
Ice does not always freeze evenly and therefore could be four inches in one spot and only two inches in another. The general rule is if it is three inches or less, you should keep off of it.
8 - 12 inches of clear blue ice is enough to support the weight of a car.
The weight that 12 inches of ice can support depends on various factors, including the type of ice and any potential imperfections. Generally, solid, clear ice can support about 50 pounds per square foot for every inch of thickness. Therefore, 12 inches of good quality ice can hold approximately 600 pounds per square foot. However, it's essential to exercise caution as conditions can vary significantly.
That depends on the thickness of the ice. It also depends on the shape of the outline of the 1 square foot. For example ... a square with 1-ft sides can certainly support more weight than a rectangle that's 1-inch wide and 144-inches long.
The volume of the block of ice is 2ft * 2ft * 2ft or 8 ft3. The equivalent weight of 8 cubic feet of water is 8ft3 * 62.5 lb/ft3 or 500 lbs. To find the weight of ice take 92% of the equivalent weight of water or 0.92 * 500 lbs = 460 lbs

Walking on 3 inches of ice is generally not safe. Ice needs to be at least 4 inches thick to support the weight of a person. It is important to always check the thickness of the ice before walking on it to ensure safety.
Yes, ice can hold U.S. citizens as long as it is thick enough and stable. For example, ice on lakes or rivers can support the weight of people walking or skating on it, typically when it is at least 4 inches thick. However, safety precautions should always be taken, as ice conditions can change rapidly and may not be reliable. Always check local guidelines and conditions before venturing onto ice.
Water's weight, when frozen into ice stays the same, but the density of water is much higher than ice's, since Ice has the same weight and contents of Water, but takes up significantly more space.
1 cubic yard of ice has a weight of 49421 pound-force.
For safety, ice should be at least 4 inches thick for a single person to walk on, and at least 5 inches thick for a small group or activity like ice fishing.

I believe its 5-9 inches.
