5. A contractor has decided to use a dragline to excavate a ditch to drain stormwater
runoƒƒ ƒrom her construction site. The material to be excavated is a light moist clay
weighing 2,000 pounds per bank cubic yard with a swell oƒ 18% and shrinkage oƒ 25%.
Given the density oƒ the material to be loaded,
the contractor has determined that the largest heavy-duty dragline bucket that can be saƒel
mounted on the crane has a rated capacity oƒ 2.5 cubic yards.
We assume that we know the average depth oƒ the dig is 11.9 ƒeet and the average
angle oƒ the swing is 75 degrees, and the contractor pla ns to operate
stion based
the machine about 48 minutes per hour. Please answer this que on the
1/7
, ƒollowing given tables.
What is the ideal dragline output ƒor this machine based on the given sce- nario?
Select one:
a. 233 BCY/hr
b. 265 BCY/hr
