20*40 pounds. because specific gravity of water is about 1. thus gold is 20 times more
Gold has a Specific gravity of 20 and water has a specific gravity of 1. That means that gold weighs 20 times more per gallon than water.
Since water weighs ~8.3lbs/gal
Gold weighs 20*8.3lbs/gal=166lbs/gal
For a 5 gal pail would weigh ~830lbs.
I have a giant pile of gold, and several eight gallon buckets. The buckets are also made out of gold. I could have my servant run some calculations, but I'm afraid we can't find your answer directly.
well depends on what the pail is made of. Is the pail made of gold, plastic, aluminum...or what?
