The excavated material is to be hauled away and used as compacted fill material on another site adjacent to the current site. Assuming that a soil analysis shows that the soil weighs 2,800 lbs/ cubic yards (CY), 2,000 lbs/CY, and 3,500 lbs/CY in its natural, excavated, and compacted states, respectively, and the excavated soil is to be hauled away using 12 CY dump trucks, answer the following questions:
- What is the loose volume of the soil in loose cubic yards (LCY) to be hauled away?
- How many truckloads will be involved in hauling the material to the fill site?
- What will be the compacted volume of the soil in CY at the fill site?
