Question

In Ohio, the maximum "tolerable" soil loss rate asigned by the USDA-NRCS is 5 t/ac/yr. For a soil eroding at this rate, _________ mm of soil would be removed from the soil in a year. B) If all of the sediments eroded from an acre in one year were collected and placed in a 1 m square box, the box would need to be _________ m in height to contain all of the sediments if packed to the same density as the original soil. (Hint: Use the acre-furrow slice relation)

Please include all the steps and where the equations/numbers are coming from. Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Explanation / Answer

WELL WE HAVE GIVEN VOLUME OF SOIL ERODED FROM ONE ACRE THAT IS: 5 NOW WE PLACED THAT SOIL INTO A BOX WHOSE BASE WE KNOW IS IN SQUARE AS BASE OF BOX AND IT MAY BE CUBOID WE HAVE TO FIND ITS HEIGHT JUST COMPARE IT WITH VOLUME OF SOIL = VOLUME OF BOX (CUBOID) TAKING HEIGHT AS X SO YOU WILL FIND AMOUNT OF SOIL FOR PART a AND FINDVALUE OF X FORPART B

VOLUME OF SOIL = 5=VOLUME OF BOX = 1*1*X, SO X=5, SO BOTH PART HAS ANSWER 5
