Lead has a density of 0.41 lb/in^3. A ton is 2000 lb, so it would have a volume of 2000 / 0.41 = 4878 in^3. I assume we're talking about English units rather than metric. If you meant a metric ton, get the density in kg/m^3 and divide 1000 kg (a metric ton) by that figure instead.

Metric ton = 1000 kg.
Density of Lead = 11â34 kg/ L
Density (D) = Mass (m) / Volume (V)
V = m / D
V = 1000 kg / 11â34 kg/ L
V = 88â183 421 52...
V â 88â18 L

The Specific Gravity of Lead = 11.34.
The S.G. of water = 1.0.
1 metric ton of water = 1 m³.
1m³ ÷ 11.34 = 0.088m³ = Volume of 1 ton of lead.

tricky question as it depends on the type of lead:
Lead, commercial, 1 cubic foot weighs 125-140 lbs
Lead, ores, 1 cubic foot weighs 710 lbs
Lead, scrap, 1 cubic foot weighs 200-270 lbs

density of Pb =11.35 g/cm^3
so 1ton = 10^6g
the volume is 10^6/11.35 =88,105 cm^3= 0.088105m^3

general eng handbook, find the weight for a cubic foot of lead, into 2000=volume. ok, send me $20 bucks. lol
