Calculate the number of days required to dig a dirt road with a length of
(4 km), a width of 300 cm) and a thickness of (0.2m), using two excavators,
if you know that each excavator works with two vehicles with a capacity of
(10) m3 in the measure of looseness and each of them, in order to transport
the soil excavations outside The site, and the productivity of one cart in the
bank scale (16 m3/hr) and the soil density in the loose and bank scale are
(1450kg/m, (1350kg/m3), respectively: Also, the efficiency of the cart (90)
and the number of working hours per day (7) hours?
