Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A truck has a gravimetric capacity of 15 tons. If the material has a density of 1.5 tons/m³, what is the maximum volume of material that can safely be loaded?
💡 Hint: Use the formula: Volume = Mass / Density.
If a loader has a cycle time of 1.2 minutes and its bucket capacity is 2.5 m³, calculate the loading time for 8 bucket loads.
💡 Hint: Apply the loading time formula directly.
