Problem 2: A proposed embankment fill requires 5000 cu.m. of compacted soil. The void ratio of the compacted fill is specified as 0.70. Four borrow pits are available, as described in the following table, which lists the respective void ratios of the soil and the cost per cu.m. for moving the soil to the proposed construction site. Borrow Pit| Void Ratio | Transportation Cost (Pesos /m³) A 0.85 P 800.00 / m³ 1.20 P 650.00 / m³ 0.95 P 750.00 / m³ D 0.75 P 950.00 / m³ 1. What is the cost for borrow pit A? 2. What is the cost for borrow pit B? 3. Select the pit from which the soil should be bought to minimize the cost. Assume Gs to be the same at all pits.
