density of water(d)= 1000kg/m^3
1 gallon=0.00379 cubic meters>5(0.00379)=0.01895m^3

density=mass/volume
mass=volume(density)
mass=(0.01895m^3)(1000kg/m^3)=18.95kg
weight=(gravitational constant)(mass)
weight=(9.8m/s^2)(18.95kg)=185.71Newto...

so the weight of 5 gallons of water is 185.71N or 41.75lbs

37 lbs without the glass

Help your self with online conversion websites on the net, one that I use is:

Any way, 5 gallons= 640 ounces or 5120 Fluid Grams or 18.927 liters

But at the same time, since different fluids weigh differently better use a home made recipe, which is your own weighing machine that you use at home.

if the gallon measure is imperial (British) then a pint of water weighs a pound and a quarter so a gallon of water weighs 10 lbs therefore 5 gallons of water will weigh 50 lbs

40 pounds plus what the bottle weighs
