Question: An operator is using a Y-pattern loading technique to load haul trucks. If the loader makes a 45-degree turn to approach the stockpile and another 45-degree turn after loading to approach the truck, what is the total angular displacement (turning) the loader experiences in degrees for one complete cycle before it reverses to load the next truck?
Answer options: ✅ 90 degrees
- 180 degrees
- 135 degrees
- 45 degrees
Correct answer: 90 degrees
Explanation: In a Y-pattern, the loader makes two distinct turns each cycle: one to approach the stockpile and one to approach the truck. Therefore, a 45-degree turn + another 45-degree turn equals 90 degrees of total angular displacement per cycle. This is a key characteristic distinguishing it from V-pattern.
