4 Solid waste from a park is to be collected in large containers. It is estimated that the average time to drive from the garbage to the first container t, and from the last container t₂ to the garbage each day will be 15 and 20 minutes, respectively. If the average time required to drive between the containers is 360 seconds and the two-way distance to the disposal site is 50 km (speed limit 88 km/hr), determine the number of containers that can be emptied per day, based on an 8-hour work day. Note: at 88 km/hr speed, a = 0.016, b=0.011; S = 0.133, W=0.15; P + U = 0.4 h/trip.

Solid waste from a park is to be collected in large containers. It is estimated that the average time to
drive from the garbage to the first container t, and from the last container t₂ to the garbage each day
will be 15 and 20 minutes, respectively. If the average time required to drive between the containers
is 360 seconds and the two-way distance to the disposal site is 50 km (speed limit 88 km/hr), determine
the number of containers that can be emptied per day, based on an 8-hour work day.
Note: at 88 km/hr speed, a = 0.016, b= 0.011; S = 0.133, W = 0.15; Pc+U= 0.4 h/trip.
