Because the ground has not absorbed enought water to become semi-liguid mud or the gound has compressed rock and stone in it's composition that will not easily push apart for your meager weight.

What is the weight of a 20 foot x 20 foot x 1 inch puddle of water?

1 cubic foot of water weighs 62.42 lbs. so 20x12=240x240=57600 sq inx1= 57600 cu in . 1 cubic foot =1728 cu in. 57600/1728=33.333 33.333x62.42=2080.45 lbs


What does a puddle of water 20' x20' X 1 inch weigh?

If the puddle is square, then its volume is (20) x (20) x (1/12) cubic feet.(331/3 cubic feet) x (62.4 pounds/cubic foot) = 2,080 pounds of water in the puddle.If the puddle is not a 20' x 20' square, then this calculation doesn't work, andyou'd need more information to determine its true surface area (and volume).


What does a puddle of water 20'x20'x1 deep weigh?

First determine the number of square feet of the puddle. 20' x 20' = 400 square feet. Since the puddle is 1" deep, (I'm assuming the puddle is one inch even though there isn't any indication of whether the numeral one is an inch, or a foot. It's a puddle, after all.), we'll convert the 400 sq. ft. to square inches. 400 sq. ft. X 144 = 57,600 (There are 144 sq. inches in a sq. Foot) This give us the value in cubic inches. Next convert the entire number of cubic inches into cubic feet, it's a nice small number to deal with. There are 1728 cubic inches in a cubic foot so we'll divide the number 57,600 (cu. inches) by 1728 (cu. inches) to give us 33.333 cubic feet. Now multiply the number of cubic feet (33.333) times the weight of a cubic foot of water, which happens to be 62.4 lbs. (Water treatment field study, second edition) 33.333 X 62.4 = 2079.999 lbs. (Rounded off to 2080 lbs.) If the question was for a puddle 1 ft. deep the solution is even easier. Simply multiply the sides to obtain the square footage. Since the puddle is 1 foot deep the area, (square footage), of the puddle will be the same as the cubic volume, or 400 cubic feet. Now multiply that number times the weight of a cubic foot of water. 400 cu. ft. X 62.4 lbs/cu. ft. = 24,960 pounds.


Why is there 2 foot X 2 foot whole and 1 foot deep hole in my basement floor with a sump pump in a basement?

In rainy weather, the water table rises and ground water can sometimes "perc" up thru the ground and into your basement.It would pump the water out before it gets high enough to cause damage in your basement.

How does man walk?

When we walk on the ground our foot pushes the ground backward, and in return, the ground pushes our foot forward. The forward reaction exerted by the ground pushes our foot forward. The forward reaction exerted by the ground on our foot makes us walk forward.
