Step-by-step derivation

Enter at least area & depth (or length & width & depth) or volume & density to see the steps.

References

Area: A = L × W
Volume: V = A × d
Weight: W = ρ × V
Common conversions: 1 m³ = 35.3147 ft³ = 1.30795 yd³; 1 t = 1000 kg.
Typical dry sand bulk density ≈ 1600 kg/m³ (varies by moisture & compaction).
