You have been tasked with leading the community garden in your neighborhood! It is located in a charming 1/3 acre plot. The bulk density of the soil is determined to be 1.66g/cm3. They are hoping to add some amendments to the soil to improve the bulk density a bit, and the crop advisor recommended applying it on a percent by mass basis to a depth of 10 inches. But first, in order to find out how many pounds to apply, you first need to find the total mass of the soil in your garden. What is the mass of the top 10 inches of your garden soil in tons? Please answer to the nearest whole number.

Material Selection

A wide variety of engineering applications make use of different materials, depending upon their usage. The materials used in civil engineering vary in their properties such as strength, ductility, brittleness, and creep strength. Depending upon the application and external loading conditions, an engineer must make a wise decision for material selection. A wrong decision would fail in its functionality.
