There are a couple problems with the statement of the problem. First off, "wheel barrels" are not a standard tool of moving. I suspect the asker should have asked about "wheelbarrows". Secondly, 7 tons of what? Since wheelbarrows do not have standard sizes and 7 tons specifies weight rather than volume, 7 tons of dandelion fluff would require a great many wheelbarrows simply because of the volume. On the other hand, the number of wheelbarrows required to move 7 tons of 1mm lead balls would mostly depend on the strength of the person or persons doing the moving. If, for example, the wheelbarrow can hold 6 cubic feet of material, 6 cubic feet of lead balls would weigh more than 600 pounds. Few realistic workers could move a wheel barrow loaded with 600 pounds of material.
