Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A truck has a gravimetric capacity of 18 tons. If loaded with a material of density 2 tons/m3, how many cubic meters can it be loaded without exceeding capacity?

💡 Hint: Divide the total weight limit by the density.

Question 2

Examine a scenario where a truck consistently gets overloaded due to increased side board limits. Calculate long-term expenses due to premature failure.

💡 Hint: Think about how often you'd need to replace tires compared to regular maintenance schedules.
