A new foam-like material called Aerogel is the lightest, most porous solid material ever made. The specific gravity of Aerogel is only 0.00325. A standard pick-up truck holds a volume of about 48.0 ft3. Determine the number of these trucks that would be required to transport 1.00 ton (i.e., 2000 lb) of Aerogel.
