The weight of pumice can vary depending on its type and density, but on average, pumice has a density of about 10 to 15 pounds per cubic foot. To calculate the weight of 8 cubic feet of pumice, you can use the following formula:
\[
\text{Weight} = \text{Volume} \times \text{Density}
\]
Using an average density of 12.5 pounds per cubic foot (which is a common estimate):
\[
\text{Weight} = 8 \, \text{cubic feet} \times 12.5 \, \text{pounds/cubic foot} = 100 \, \text{pounds}
\]
So, 8 cubic feet of pumice would weigh approximately 100 pounds, but it could be slightly more or less depending on the exact density of the specific pumice you have. If you use a density of 10 pounds per cubic foot, it would weigh 80 pounds, and at 15 pounds per cubic foot, it would weigh 120 pounds.
\[
\text{Weight} = \text{Volume} \times \text{Density}

If you have a specific weight of 40.01632 pounds for 8 cubic feet of pumice, you would need to determine the average density that corresponds to that weight.
To calculate the density, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Density} = \frac{\text{Weight}}{\text{Volume}}
\]
Given that the weight is 40.01632 pounds and the volume is 8 cubic feet:
\[
\text{Density} = \frac{40.01632 \, \text{pounds}}{8 \, \text{cubic feet}} \approx 5.00204 \, \text{pounds/cubic foot}
\]
This indicates that the pumice in question is significantly lighter than typical pumice, which generally falls in the range of 10 to 15 pounds per cubic foot. If you have specific pumice material, it may be specially processed or of a different type that has a lower density.

Apologies for any confusion! If you state that 8 cubic feet of pumice weighs 40.01632 pounds, then we might be dealing with a specific type of pumice that has a much lower density than the average values typically cited.
To summarize:
1. **Weight of 8 Cubic Feet of Pumice**: 40.01632 pounds.
2. **Density Calculation**:
\[
\text{Density} = \frac{\text{Weight}}{\text{Volume}} = \frac{40.01632 \, \text{pounds}}{8 \, \text{cubic feet}} \approx 5.00204 \, \text{pounds/cubic foot}
\]
This means that the pumice you're referring to has an approximate density of 5.002 pounds per cubic foot, which is notably lighter than typical pumice.
