Calculate the maximum weight you can load into a bucket with a static tipping load of 10,000 kg and a safety factor of 50%.
💡 Hint: Consider the proportion allowed by the safety factor.
You have a loader with a bucket rated at 4 m³ and a fill factor of 75%. If the material has a density of 2000 kg/m³, what is the total weight you can load?
💡 Hint: Use the bucket volume, fill factor, and density to find the weight.
