Question 1206276
.


People sometimes say  " A pint is a pound the world around "  meaning that
in the entire world a pint of water weights about one pound.


<pre>
    It is interesting that there are different pints: US, UK and imperial 
    as the liquid volume measurement units, and they all are different, 
    but I will not consider it here. These words above relate to the US pint.

Other people say &nbsp;" A pint is &nbsp;NOT &nbsp;a pound the world around ", meaning that 
a pint of water &nbsp;(the &nbsp;US &nbsp;pint) &nbsp;weights not precisely a pound.



&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Both sides are right, &nbsp;each in its own way.



But let's return to our problem. &nbsp;They want you determine, &nbsp;what is heavier - a pint of water or a pound of sand.


Now, &nbsp;in order for my story was not too long, &nbsp;I asked &nbsp;GOOGLE &nbsp;" what is the weight of one pint of water ?"


It responded me: &nbsp;one pint of water weights about &nbsp;1.04318 &nbsp;pounds.


So, &nbsp;the answer to the problem's question is: &nbsp;&nbsp;one pint of water is heavier than one pound of sand.



Which water ? - Water may be different: &nbsp;pure, &nbsp;saline, &nbsp;dirty water.


But of course, &nbsp;both the question and the answer relate to chemically and 
physically pure water &nbsp;{{{H[2]O}}}&nbsp; in its liquid state at the room temperature.
