What does 50 lbs feel like?

Question

I'm flying in 2 days and I need to test the bags I intend on checking to make sure they aren't overweight. The weight restriction is <50 lbs per bag. One of them is almost certainly under 50 lbs (it's smallish), but the other is HUGE and one time even though I could haul it around fairly easily it ended up weighing about 60 lbs and I had to pay $100 for them to take it.

I don't have a scale. I realize this prevents me from knowing it's exact weight with any certainty, but I could use some sort of ballpark method just to see if it's even close.

Answer 1

Like ten more pounds than forty?  Haha, sorry, had to say it.

The best two ideas I can give you are either a mid-sized dog, or one of the big bags of dog-food.

Answer 2

cant u  go to walmart or something and pick up 2 25 lb weights just to get an estimate?

Answer 3

one big mag of dog food.

or if we assume one gallon of milk weighs about 8 pounds than you would get 6.25 gallons of milk

Answer 4

About the size of 5 gallons of water.

Answer 5

Bring an extra bag with you, just incase you&#039;re a few pounds over. Or even out the two bags, like take some stuff out of the huge bag and put it in the smaller one.

If you&#039;re bringing a carry on, you can separate the items between the three bags.

God, I don&#039;t know how I could letcha know what 50 pounds feels like.

Best I can think of, is a gallon of water or milk.

A gallon of liquid weights about 10 pounds, right.

So 50 pounds feels like 5 gallons of water.

Um, if you have an pets, you can check how much their kibble weights and feel that. Just go around your house and lift food items, cause it always says how much they weight on the bottom corner.

I&#039;m sorry I wish I could help you.

Do your neighbors or anyone you know have a scale you could borrow right quick?

Answer 12

Umm...find a 50lb 2nd grader?

Best I can think of with out a scale...

OR go to a friends house (who has a scale) and weigh there.

Answer 13

50 lbs is nearly half an hundred weight or a sack of spuds....22.7 kilos

Answer 14

about 20 kilos

Answer 15

A gallon of milk weighs about 8 pounds so think about that and estimate.

Answer 16

ok pick up a big bag of dog food. like the giant bags. those are 50 pounds roughly.

and yes my dad had the same exact problem lol

he had a bag which was 80 pounds exactly (which i guessed that b4 he weighed it lol) and 1 that was less than 20 pounds and had to pay 100 dollars extra.

Answer 17

Ok this is what you do.

You pick up a bag. You put all the things inside you know the weight of. Sometimes you buy like let&#039;s say a pack of papers and then it&#039;ll say how many pounds. If you don&#039;t....go to amazon.com and check the weight of that. The put it all inside until you get 50 pounds or less.

Answer 18

Surely you have a bathroom scale in your house. I don&#039;t know a woman that doen&#039;t?
