Jim is an engineer in an equatorial communist society. His boss requires that he build a wall across a dry lake bed at sea level. If he gets it wrong his fam is done for.
The wall is to be 150,000 m long, 200 m wide and 2000 m high. The wall is to be made from special concrete that has the same density (and volume) when dry as when wet and does not expand substantially when heated. The wall is to be solid and all one piece.
Help Jim out: Assuming constant standard temperature and pressure for the build how many cubic meters of concrete does Jim need?
