Question

There is a road that is an exit to a concrete plant and is used exclusively by the concrete mix trucks exiting the plant (entering trucks have another road). Each truck weighs 21,350 pounds when they are completely empty. Data is collected for a few weeks and it is determined that there are an average of 32.63 trucks exiting the plant each day (including holidays, weekends, etc.). The concrete has an average unit weight of 141.3 pcf (pounds per cubic foot). Each truck can hold 8.65 cubic yards of concrete, and the trucks always leave the plant 100.0% full. How much total weight (in kiloNewtons) will the road experience in 3.142 years? -904106732.697kilometers

Let's assume the answer from the previous question is 35,400 kiloNewtons (this answer is incorrect; it just puts everyone on a level playing field for this question.) The soil underneath the road compacts 2.75 x 10-6 inches for every pound that the road endures. How much will the soil compact (in millimeters) from the 35,400 kiloNewton force?

-The answers for the 1st part is 904106732.697 kilonewtons. I need the answers for the second question please.

Explanation / Answer

mg = 35400000 N

m=3612244.9 kg

m= 7963636.8222 pounds

Compact= 21.9 inches = 556.26 mm
