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.
