Best Answer: Wikipedia has a list of every notable person whos's died this year (by month and day)-. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rec... Here is everyone who's died in the past week-. 4. BÃ©la KirÃ¡ly, 97, Hungarian general and historian, natural causes. [1]
A cubic foot of clay weighs approximately 100 pounds if dry and 110 pounds when moist. Estimating the weight of soil is important when transporting it. A truckload of average dirt is about 18 cubic yards, or 486 cubic feet, which can be multiplied by the weight per cubic foot of the particular type of soil.
It depends on the density of the topsoil they are selling. I found a table that may help somewhat, but the density in pounds per cubic foot varies from 78 to 125 pounds per cubic foot. (Look in the table under earth.) If you know the density you can calculate the weight in tons of 15 cubic yards. Let me take a density of 100 pounds per cubic foot as an example. There are 3 feet in a yard so. 100 lb/ft 3 = 100 lb/ft 3 Ã 3 3 /1 ft 3 /yd 3 = 2700 lb/yd 3. Since there are 2000 pounds in a ton this is 2700.2000 = 1.35 tons per cubic yard and thus 15 cubic yards weighs 1.35 Ã 15 = 20.25 tons.
