The volume of garys heavy bag is 3.5 cubic feet based on nominal measurements of 6.5" radius and 46" height.
Sand has a density of 100lbs per cubic foot.
Sawdust has a density of 17lbs per cubic foot.
The bag and cardboard tube for the sand are estimated to weigh a total of 10lbs.
That leaves a remainder of 90lbs of sand and sawdust to fill the bag.
How much sand and how much sawdust must the bag contain to equal 100lbs total weight.
Extra credit: what is the diameter of the 43" cardboard tube that goes down the center of the bag to contain the sand?
This is a math question.
Thanks
Gary
