That completely depends on what substance you have in the bucket, and how full it is.

If the substance is water and the bucket is full to the rim, then it contains 41.73 pounds

of water. Other substances will have different weights.

If the bucket is empty, then its volume is still 5 gallons, but its weight is virtually zero,

not including the weight of the empty bucket of course.

How much does 1 cubic yard of mud weigh?

Dirt can mean so many different things. It can be very dry, dusty "dirt" that might contain a lot of vermiculite or dried organic materials like peat, it can be dense damp clay, or anything in between. Heft a potted plant before and after watering. At 120lb/ cf 1 gallon would weigh about 16 lbs. At 100 lb/cf 1 gallon would weigh 100/7.48 = 13.4 lbs. it all depends on the unit weight of the soil which depends on moisture content and density.


How much does 1 yard of black dirt weigh?

This answer will vary depending on what type of dirt it is, if it is a yard high, or a yard long, or whether there are particles in the dirt that will cause it to be heavier, such as water. But a normal yard high of dirt and I am assuming this as if it is a yard long and high, would be about ten to twenty pounds. This is answered off of the top of my head, so don't think it as 100% correct. Hope I helped you well enough!

What weighs more water or dirt?

There are lots of variables. Is it sandy, loamy, clay or mixture? Is it saturated with water or very dry? There is a very wide range, but I would expect it to weigh about 4-5 pounds a cubic foot, with a variability of several pounds either way. I think the weight-per-cubic-foot estimate above is low. Generally, a yard of topsoil is about one ton. Note that "a yard" in this case really means a cubic yard, which is 27 cubic feet. So, a cubic foot of topsoil is about 74 pounds, which seems to make sense inasmuch as a cubic foot of pure water is about 62 pounds. Depending on dirt of course but, approximately 75% of it's volume. Aggregates rule of thumb, the smaller the pieces the lighter the load per volume 1 yard of black dirt=+/- 1500lbs 1 yard of 8" boulders =+/- 3500lbs. boulders or compressed mass.
