Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A truck can legally carry 15 tons. If a construction site requires loading 8 tons of gravel and 6 tons of concrete, will the truck be able to transport it safely?
💡 Hint: Sum the expected weights.
Calculate the adjustment for a truck that should carry 12 tons but due to additional water content, the weight must be recalculated where the density of water is 1 ton/m³.
💡 Hint: Consider the density effect due to moisture or additional materials.
