Your project is going to be 10 feet wide by 50 feet long and 8â³ of crushed stone is needed for the depth. Here is your workup. 10â² X 50â² X .66â³ / 27 = 12.22 cubic yards. 12.22 + 5 percent = 12.83 cubic yards. You would need to order 13 cubic yards of material for your project.
Fact 4: A Soapy Launch. The Titanic weighed in at a reported 660 tonnes and to launch her from the top of of the slipway at Thompson dry dock look around 23 tonnes of soap and grease. This quantity of lubricant enabled the Titanic to move from the slipway into the water on the River Lagan in just 62 seconds.
