What does ton (short)/cubic yard represent?

It is a density unit representing one short ton (2,000 pounds) spread over one cubic yard of volume, used to measure material heaviness per volume.

Can moisture content affect the density conversion?

Yes, variations in moisture and compaction can alter actual density, so conversions should consider these factors for precision.
