Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A bulldozer has a standard fuel consumption rate of 0.08 gallons per horsepower per hour. If it's rated at 600 horsepower and operates at full load 50% of the time over a 2-hour work session, calculate the total fuel used.

💡 Hint: Break down the problem into parts: calculate hourly and then multiply by time.

Question 2

An excavator consumes 0.11 liters per horsepower hour. If it works at an operating factor of 0.65 for a project requiring 300 horsepower over 3 hours, what is the total fuel cost if the price of fuel is 50 rupees per liter?

💡 Hint: Consider the steps: first find total fuel used, then multiply by cost.
