Which weighs more, a pound of water or a pound of frozen water?
I am not young enough to know everything.
This thread is hilarious!
It depends. If you're headed uphill, it weighs a ****-ton. If you're going downhill, it's slightly less.Originally Posted by XCskiNYC
I typically hike slightly more than 560 furlongs in just less than half a fortnight. But then again, I am carrying more than one and a half slugs!
You carry slugs?Ewwwww

...a block of ice sure would be a nice thing to have in this heat lately...
Don't be silly. The question was about weight, not mass.

Dry water weighs more. Not a lot, but some. It's all those chemicals they put in the water to maek it dry that adds weight.

This should be in Straight-Forward where it was originally posted.
And the answer is....

I thought you were asking about dehydrated water, which certainly belongs in the humor forum.

Well, water weighs more per liter when cold. It peaks at about 39°C weighing 2.2041 lbs per liter and 2.1122 at near boiling. Now if we wanted "dry water", we would have to measure it in stones (.15733). Now that is pure water. Hard water containing salts and calcium would weight a bit more and if the water is airated it could weigh less. It also depends on what altitude you are at. At lower elevations, water will weigh a bit more.
This mass of water is assuming its specific gravity is 1.00 mg/mL. But I'm sure you knew that already.
Sorry, make that S.G. 1gm/mL.
That's odd, I usually hike about 25000 perches in a tithi.
I also weigh my gear in troy pounds, so I can't help with the OP
Mom used to say "A pint's a pound the world around."
Midwestern wisdom, I guess.
My apologies to anybody who was confused by the term "dry weight" or who thought this was meant as humor. The intention was to make it clear that I meant the weight that would register on a common household digital scale, like the scale I use to weigh myself and my pack before a hike, as opposed to "liquid" weight.
As the amount of weight of a liter of water would be something hikers would want to know, it seemed like this board would be a good place to get the information, it seemed like something that people would know immediately.
A few helpful people did know it and were willing to share the information. My thanks to them.
If that's what you wanted, you got it in post #2. The remainder could have been ignored and most of it is garbage.
what did you expect? you could of looked it up or just proof read your post. this is WB
I'm so confused, I'm not sure if I lost my horse or found a rope.
but if you mix some Lord Calvert with that water, it weighs less.... alchohol is less dense than water
