Show hintHide hint
Consider what happens in each operational phase.
Question 2.
What is push time?
Show hintHide hint
Think about the movement of the bulldozer.
3Question 3.
What is the fixed time in the cycle time of a bulldozer?
- Push Time
- Maneuver Time
- Backtrack Time
Show hintHide hint
Consider what part of the cycle time doesn't change.
4Question 4.
True or False: Push time is variable and depends on haul distance.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about how distance relates to time.
Question 5.
If a bulldozer has a haul distance of 100 meters and operates at a speed of 4 m/s with a manual transmission maneuver time of 0.1 minutes, calculate the total cycle time.
Show hintHide hint
Calculate push and backtrack times based on speed and distances.
Question 6.
Discuss the impact of transmission types on productivity when operating in a terrain with steep grades. Provide calculations showing differences between manual and automatic systems.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how grade impacts speed and hence cycle times differently for each transmission type.
