A 1000-ft (305-m)-long pipeline requires an excavation 4 ft (1.2 m) wide to an average depth of 5 ft (1.5 m). If the soil is dry common earth, what size spoil bank will be created by the excavation?
Added by Milagros C.
Step 1
The volume \( V \) of the excavation can be found using the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism: \[ V = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{depth} \] Given: - Length \( L = 1000 \) ft - Width \( W = 4 \) ft - Depth \( D = 5 \) ft \[ V = 1000 Show more…
