Answer

The total weight of the ground material is $~~1.4\times 10^9~N$

Work Step by Step

We can find the total weight of the ground material: $W = mg$ $W = \rho~V~g$ $W = (2800~kg/m^3)(150~m)(60~m)(5.8~m)(9.8~m/s^2)$ $W = 1.4\times 10^9~N$ The total weight of the ground material is $~~1.4\times 10^9~N$
