2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
Define haul time.
Think about the stages involved in transporting materials.
What is gravimetric capacity?
Consider what happens if this limit is exceeded.
What does haul time consist of?
Think about all steps a truck takes during its operation.
True or False: Overloading a truck can lead to increased tire wear.
Recall the relationship between weight and mechanical stress.
A construction site requires 15 cubic meters of gravel to be moved every hour. Each truck can hold 7.5 cubic meters, and the loader operates at 2 minutes per load. Determine the number of trucks required to meet this demand, ensuring they operate within safety limits for gravimetric capacity.
Use the demand and truck capacity to derive the required number of trips.
A truck is loaded with sand having a density of 120 lbs/ft³. If the truck's gravimetric capacity is 10,000 lbs, calculate the maximum volume of sand that can be loaded.
Think about how to express the relationship between weight and volume!
