Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A truck has a gravimetric capacity of 15 tons, and the load is wet clay with a density of 1.8 tons/m3. What is the maximum volume the truck can carry without exceeding its capacity?

💡 Hint: Remember to convert weight capacity to volume using density.

Question 2

If the excavator's bucket cycle time is 1.5 minutes and the total truck cycle time is 35 minutes, how many trucks would theoretically balance with one excavator?

💡 Hint: Calculate the division carefully and consider rounding rules.
