Question

A crane cable can support a macimum load of 15,000 kg.If a bucket has a mass of 2,000 kg and gravel has a mass of 1,500 kg for every cubic meter,how many cubic meters of gravel (g) can be safely lifted by the crane?

Answer 1

Answer:

8.67 cubic meter

Step-by-step explanation:

crane cable can support a maximum load of 15,000 kg

bucket has a mass of 2,000 kg

mass of gravel can be lifted = 15000 - 2000

= 13000 kg

gravel has a mass of 1,500 kg for every cubic meter,

=> cubic meters of gravel  can be safely lifted by the crane = 13000/1500

= 8.67 cubic meter
