The average savings account rate, for example, increased less than 1 percent, to 0.18 percent in January from 0.179 percent in December. The average one-year rate on certificates of deposit among the top nationwide banks increased by more than 2 percent, to 0.88 percent from 0.86 percent.
Since the density of water is 1 g/cm^3, therefore sand weighs 2.2 /1 = 2.2 times as much as water for a given volume. ie... 1 gallon of water weighs 8.35 lbs so 1 gallon of sand weighs 8.35 x 2.2 = 18.4 lbs so the sand weighs more...Source(s):Dr W Â· 8 years ago.he gallon of water would be lighter I believe because its a question of the densities of the two. Sand would be more dense than water, around 1600kg/m^3 and water is 1000 or 1026 for salt water.
Whether an object will sink or float in water depends on its density. An object will float if it is less dense than water. An object will sink if it is more dense than water. If an object has a density equal to that of water, it will neither sink nor float. The density of water is 1.00 g/cm3.
