Answer by  Greta (233)

First you convert one cubic foot to liters, which is the same as cubic decimeters. Since one foot is 3. 048 decimeters, you get 28. 3168 liters. One liter of water weighs one kilogram, so a cubic foot of water weighs 28. 3168 kilograms. If you want the answer in imperial units, this equals 62. 43 pounds.

A cubic foot of water weighs about 62 lbs. This was calculated by converting cubic feet to cubic centimeters, since water weighs 1 g per 1 ml, and 1 ml is equal to 1 cubic cm. This number was then converted from grams to pounds with 454 grams per pound.
