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.

That is approximately 6-10 pounds. If i am vague that is because the term "dirt " is completely vacuous. - It could include sand, soil, clay, loam, gravel, peat, rock ,etc all of differing weights. - - Promise me you will never go to a landscape yard and ask for "dirt".

It depends whether the mud is wet or dry.

# In the UK it weighs 1,016.0469088 kg # In North America it weighs 907.18474 kg # In France (spelt as tonne) it weighs 1,000 kg A ton of mud is quite heavy, it can weigh the same as a load of bricks or a big bag of stones.

In order to determine how much mud weighs, the density is needed. For instance, one gallon of loose mud would weigh in at approximately thirteen pounds.

How is energy conserved in mud houses?

The mud house is less compact than the brick + cement house and on absorbing solar energy, the mud house does not oscillation much and probably, the air trapped in mud house walls may be insulator but bricks are more conduct of heat. So not much heat is passed in building in mud house.


Why doesnt a car move when stuck in mud?

When a car gets stuck in the mud, two things are at work. First of all the mud is very slick. The tires of the car have no traction and simply spin helplessly trying to move the heavy weight of the car. Secondly, mud, if it is deep, has suction. It literally sucks the car's tires, holding the car in the mud. Combine this with mud's slickness and your car is literally stuck.

The rotating wheels of a vehicle throw out mud tangentiallygive reason?

Any mass in motion remains in constant uniform motion (constant speed and direction) unless acted upon by an external force. At any instant in time, the mud particle is moving tangentially on the wheel. If the adhesion between the wheel and the mud is strong enough to transmit a force to the mud and cause it to alter its direction of motion, then its direction of motion will change to follow the wheel. If the mud isn't stuck to the wheel tight enough to transmit the required force, then its direction of motion will not change enough to follow the wheel and it will separate. At the instant of separation, the force goes away, and the mud continues in straight-line motion.

How many tons are in a cubic yard?

Insufficient data to answer, a cubic yard is a measure of volume (3feet x 3feet x 3feet); whereas a ton is a measure of mass/weight (2000 pounds). Different materials have different weights. A "yard" of feathers will weigh a lot less than a "yard" of mud. A cubic yard in shiping is counted as a ton.

How many gallons of drilling mud can be spread at a height of 3 inches per acre?

First of all an acre is 208.7 feet on each side or an area of 43,560 square feet. Our goal is to determine how many cubic feet of mud will be in this area, so we need to convert the 3 inches into feet. 3 inches / 12 inches/foot = 0.25 foot now we calculate how many cubic feet, acre area = 43,560 sq feet X 0.25 foot = 10,890 cubic feet. Number of gallons in a cubic foot = 7.48. Now all we need to do is multiply to get the answer - 10,890 cubic feet X 7.48 gallons/cubic foot = 81,457 gallons of drilling mud!
