a crane cable can support a maximum load of 15,000 kg. if a bucket has a mass of 2,000 kg and gravel has a mass of 1,500kg for every cubic meter,how many cubic meters of gravel can be safely lifted by the crane
The maximum load the crane can support is 15,000kg. The gravel and bucket load’s mass is 2000 + 1500 = 3500. The number of loads the crane can lift at one time is 15,000/3500 = 4.3 to one decimal place. Therefore, it can lift 4.3 cubic meters each time.
