Jessica, a scheduler at Mangel-Wurzel Transport, gets a call from a regular customer needing to move 54.9m^3 of rock and soil, which Jessica knows from previous experience has an average density of 110kg/m^3. Jessica has available a dump truck with a capacity of 11m^3 and a maximum safe load of 5700 kg. Calculate the number of trips the dump truck will have to make to haul the customer's load away.

DEA agents watch drug smugglers load cocaine onto a fishing boat in a Mexican river to transport it down the river to the ocean, and then to Miami. To estimate how much cocaine was loaded, they measure how much further the boat sinks into the water after being loaded. If the boat’s area at the waterline is 50 m2 and it sinks by 2 cm, how much cocaine was loaded?
