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.
There's also an upward force (buoyancy) that's determined by the weight of the water displaced by the object. An object will float if the gravitational (downward) force is less than the buoyancy (upward) force. So, in other words, an object will float if it weighs less than the amount of water it displaces. This explains why a rock will sink while a huge boat will float. The rock is heavy, but it displaces only a little water. It sinks because its weight is greater than the weight of the small amount of water it displaces. A huge boat, on the other hand, will float because, even though it weighs a lot, it displaces a huge amount of water that weighs even more.
