A cubic meter of sand weighs:
100 cm X 100cm X 100 cm = 1,000,000 cubic cm
bulk density of sand (includes spaces between particles) = 1.4 gg/cm3
So 1 cubic meter of sand is 1,400,000 g/454 g/lb = 3083 pounds
That is 1.5 tons to a cubic meter of sand.

If solid rock a density of 2.65 g/cm3 is used (no pore space)
So a ton of solid rock weighs 2,650,000 g/454g/lb = 5837 pounds.
That is 2.9 tons to a cubbic meter of solid rock
Love my old engineering class,
Paul
