Nothing. It would have to be a cubic inch to weigh anything. A square inch has no mass.
it is 0.036 pounds/cubic inch

The density of water is 62.4 lbs/cubic foot.
A cubic foot is 144 square inches times 12 inches deep, which equals 12^3 inches = 1728 cubic inches.
If we had one cubic inch of water, it would weight 62.4lbs / 1728 cubic inches = 0.03611 lbs/cubic inch.
Thus, the weight of water is 0.03611 pounds per square inch TIMES THE DEPTH IN INCHES.

it has to be cubic inch to have a volume , areas won’t weight.
the density of water is 62.4 Ib/Ft^3

While other people have stated correctly that water weights 62.4 pounds per cubic foot, you should note that the density of water varies with the temperature. The density of water is greatest at 4 degrees centigrade, which is the temperature used to measure the weight and volume of water for serious scientific work.

Pounds per square inch is a measurement of pressure, not weight.
