Do not give wrong answer. I will surely downvote
A highway embankment with a volume of 800,000 cy is being constructed by compacting dry gravel borrowed from a nearby site. In its natural state, dry gravel has a density of 1,660 kg/m³ with a swell percentage of 12.5% and a shrinkage factor of 0.85.
(a) Calculate the loose density of the gravel in kg/m³.
(b) Calculate the load factor.
(c) Calculate the compacted density of dry gravel in kg/m' and compact factor."
