Question $6$

$(5$ points$)$

A dump truck is carrying about $7\mathrm{.}5m^3$ of clean poorly graded, moist sand. Estimate the weight of the sand in tons. To answer this question you should assume some values informed by the literature $($such as Table $4\mathrm{.}1$ by Budhu $2010,$ below$).$ Justify your assumptions.
