almost the same way as most liquids because sand is in very little grains.

ANS2:Since there is air between the grains, the volume is somewhat variable depending on how packed the sand is. To get the volume of the sand, pour the sand into water and measure the change in water level.

How do you calculate the quantity of sand in 1 cubic meter?

"1 cubic meter" is a perfectly good 'quantity'. If the 'quantity' you want is the weight instead, then you need to know a unit weight or density for sand, in order to convert a volume to a weight.


How do you determine how much sand is needed to cover a 10 by 20 area?

use a known volume container to measure a quantity = 200 x (the depth you want the sand).


How do you find the density of sand?

To find the density of sand, measure the mass of a given volume of sand using a balance, then divide the mass by the volume. The density of sand can vary depending on its composition and particle size, but typically falls between 1.5 to 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter.


How do you calculate sand brass?

The word "brass" refers to a measure of quantity for loose material (like sand, metal, etc). This term is common in India. One brass equals one hundred cubic feet volume. Calculate the volume of sand and divide by 100 cubic feet to get the number of brass units.

How much sand is required to construct 100 square feet?

The answer really requires a cubic measure - the volume - of the construction. 100 square feet can be covered to a depth of only a grain of sand or several inches (or more) of sand and, obviously, the quantity of sand required will vary accordingly.

What is the principle is involved in determining the volume of sand in water?

You can very accurately determine the volume of sand using water. If you just take some sand and measure the volume, a lot of the volume you measure is actually the empty space between the sand crystals. If you want the true volume of the sand, you must use the water method.To do this, start with a known volume of water (use a graduated cylinder for instance). Record this volume. The weigh out a certain amount of sand, and add this sand to the water. When you do that, the volume of the water will increase. Record this new volume. Then simply subtract the initial volume from the final volume. This difference is the volume of the sand particles. You can also calculate the density of sand by this method since you weighed the sand before adding it, and the density is just weight ÷ volume.


What is The quantity of mass contained within a volume called?

The quantity of mass contained within a volume is called its Density. Actually the quantity of Mass per unit Volume is Density , by Definition.


What is the related formula for density?

density is defined as the quantity in mass upon quantity in volume Mass/volume= density


Is volume fundamental or derived quantity?

Volume is a derived quantity because it is calculated by multiplying three lengths together in the SI system of units. The SI base units for length are meters, so volume is expressed in cubic meters (m^3). It is not considered a fundamental quantity like length, mass, or time, which are base units in the SI system.
