The following are given for a natural soil deposit: Moist unit weight, y = 17.8 kN/m³ Moisture content, w = 16 % G, = 2.7 This soil is to be excavated and transported to a construction site for use in a compacted fill. If the specification calls for the soil to be compacted at least to a dry unit weight of 18.4 kN/m° at the same moisture content of 16 %, how many cubic meters of soil from the excavation site are needed to produce 21,000 m³ of compacted fill? (Enter your answer to three significant figures.) Total volume of soil to be excavated% = m
