One of the National Academy of Engineering Grand Challenges for Engineering is Manage the Nitrogen Cycle. It is important to control the agricultural impact on the nitrogen cycle as engineers attempt to provide a sustainable food supply. To grow an experimental crop to test a new fertilizer, you create a small “farm” with the soil at a depth of 9.5 inches [in]. You use 200 buckets of soil, and each bucket holds 5 gallons [gal] of soil. What is the area of your “farm”in units of square feet [ft2]?
