Soil having a void ratio of 0.68 as it exists in a borrow pit is to be excavated and transported to a fill site where it will be compacted to a void ratio of 0.45. The volume of fill required is 2500 cubic meters. Find the volume of soil that must be excavated from the borrow pit to furnish the required volume of fill. (in cubic meters).
