A bulldozer is scheduled to work on a site with varying soil densities. If planned density is 1400 kg/m³ but actual is 1600 kg/m³, calculate the material weight correction factor.
💡 Hint: Similar to previous examples; apply the same formula you used in class.
After adjusting for correction factors, the bulldozer's productivity has dropped to 50 m³/hour instead of the expected 80 m³/hour. How does this impact your cost estimations?
💡 Hint: Consider how much more you'll need to charge with the new productivity figures.
