Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A construction site uses a diesel loader operating at 400 horsepower that consumes 0.05 gallons per horsepower hour on flat surfaces but 0.08 gallons on rough terrain. Calculate the hourly fuel cost on both types of surfaces for 5 hours of operation at a fuel cost of 70 rupees per gallon.

💡 Hint: Calculate the consumption using the hourly rate then find the cost.

Question 2

A dual-fuel machine operates on average power 60% of the time and at full power the remaining 40%. Calculate fuel costs using 30 rupees/liter for gasoline at consumption rates of 0.06 and 0.05 liters per horsepower hour for average and full power respectively over a 10-hour operation at 250 horsepower.

💡 Hint: Factor in different consumption rates for the operational hours.
