You have decided to spend some spare time improving your yard by installing a swimming pool. To save some money, you have decided to dig the hole yourself. Your yard will allow for a pool that measures 5 meters [?][m] by 8 meters [?][m] by 3 meters [?][m]. Assume the specific gravity of dirt is 2.65. Determine the mass of the dirt you must remove to dig the pool. Express your answer in units of grams [?][g], using an appropriate SI prefix such that there are only 1, 2, or 3 digits shown to the left of the decimal place.

Assume the specific gravity of dirt is 2.65.
Determine the mass of the dirt you must remove to dig the pool.
Express your answer in units of grams [?][g], using an appropriate SI prefix such that there are only 1, 2, or 3 digits shown to the left of the decimal place.
Specific gravity of a substance is defined by ratio of the density of substance to density of water at particular temperature(4 degree celsius).
Density of water at 4degree celsius =1000
