You are using a single-engine scraper rated at 21cy heaped that is used to haul material from a pit to
a fill 900ft away under severe conditions. The average haul speed will be 14mph and the average
return speed will be 20mph. Assume, at an average speed of mph, that 200ft is required both to
accelerate and decelerate. The operating efficiency will be equal to a 50-min hour. You will spend .6
minutes loading this scraper.
A. How much material will be carried in each load? (10 Points)
B. What is the cycle time? (10 Points)
C. What is the production per scraper per haul (ie material moved per hour)?(10 Points)
D.[Bonus] Assume the haul and return times are not given. The rolling resistance of the road is 140
lbton. You will be hauling the material down slope at a 6% grade. What is the Total Resistance
of the Haul and the Total Resistance of the Return? (10 Points)
E.[Bonus] Assume the Rimpull chart provided below is the correct one for this equipment. What
will be the haul and return speeds be? What will the revised cycle time be?(10 Points)
