Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A backhoe has a rated speed of 12 km/h but operates at 8 km/h due to poor site conditions. Estimate how much longer a project could take if a crane depended solely on it for earthmoving over a distance of 500 meters.

💡 Hint: Use the formula: time = distance/speed, and compare the times at the two speeds.
