Maeve Beasley · Answer 1

The correct option is: 2,250,000 kg

Explanation:

Given : Area A = 1 ha (Hectare) = 10,000 m²

Bulk density = 1.5 Mg/m³ = 1.5 * 1000 kg/m³ = 1500 kg/m³ (∵ 1 Mg=1000 kg)

Depth of soil = 15 cm = 0.15 m (∵ 1 m = 100 cm)

Volume can be calculated by:

Volume = area * Depth = 10,000 m² * 0.15 m = 1500 m³

As we know, density = mass / volume

Therefore, Mass of soil = Bulk density * volume = 1500 kg/m³ * 1500 m³ = 2,250,000 kg
