Question:

How many trips would one rubber-tired Herrywampus have to make to backfill a space with a geometrical volume of 5,400 cubic yard? The maximum capacity of the machine is 30 cubic yard (heaped), or 40 tons. The material is to be compacted with a shrinkage of 25% (relative to bank measure) and has a swell factor of 20% (relative to bank measure). The material weighs 3,000 lb/cu yd (bank). Assume that the machine carries its maximum load on each trip. Check by both weight and volume limitations.
