Question: A client requests a quote for moving 1,000 m³ of gravel. You estimate the gravel's bank density is 1,800 kg/m³. If your wheel loader has a 4.5 m³ bucket, achieves an 88% fill factor, and the swell factor of the gravel from bank to loose is 15%, what is the actual loose volume per bucket load you should use for your calculations?
Answer options: ✅ 3.96 m³
- 3.44 m³
- 4.55 m³
- 3.02 m³
Correct answer: 3.96 m³
Explanation: The actual loose volume loaded per bucket is the rated capacity multiplied by the fill factor: 4.5 m³ * 0.88 = 3.96 m³. The bank density and swell factor are distractors for this specific question asking for loose volume per bucket, as the bucket loading is in its 'loose' state.
