36 cubic feet of water weigh a ton, pretty closely. This is a useful figure to remember if you are dealing with large quantities of it.

10 pounds per gallon in canada.
It's the basis of the metric system
1 litre = 1 kilogram
1 ml = 1 gram
1 cubic centimeter = 1 gram
Specific gravity or the weight of any substance is based on it relativity to water.

the water here weighs 0.997g/cc. I measured it using an Anton Parr density meter and also a hydometer. It has never been 1g/cc, always less.

A litre weighs a kilogram.

it depends on the quantity of water
density=mass/volume
mass=density*volume
water density=1gm/cm^3
so if we have 1 liter of water it weigh 1*1000=1000gm
hint one liter=1000cm
