Question

A crawler hoe having a 2.5-cy bucket and whose cost per hour, including the wages to an operator, is $109 will excavate and load haul units under the stated conditions as - depth of excavation is 12 feet, angle of swing is 80 degrees, percent swell is 14 and efficiency factor is 55 min per hour. The maximum digging depth of the machine is 22 feet. Use load bucket time 6 sec; swing loaded time 6 sec; dump bucket time 4 sec and swing empty time 5 sec. Determine the cost per bank cubic yard for the material sand and gravel. Show all the calculations with all the required checking.

To calculate the cost per bank cubic yard for the material sand and gravel, we need to consider the following steps:

1. Calculate the bucket capacity in bank cubic yards (BCY):
Given bucket capacity = 2.5 cubic yards
Percent swell = 14%
Bucket capacity in BCY = bucket capacity / (1 + swell/100)
Bucket capacity in BCY = 2.5 / (1 + 14/100) = 2.19 BCY

2. Determine the bank cubic yards per load:
Given depth of excavation = 12 feet
Maximum digging depth of the machine = 22 feet
Bank cubic yards per foot = 1
Bank cubic yards per load = depth of excavation * 2 * bucket capacity in BCY
Bank cubic yards per load = 12 * 2 * 2.19 = 52.56 BCY

3. Calculate the cycle time in minutes:
Given load bucket time = 6 sec
Given swing loaded time = 6 sec
Given dump bucket time = 4 sec
Given swing empty time = 5 sec
Cycle time = (load bucket time + swing loaded time + dump bucket time + swing empty time) / 60
Cycle time = (6 + 6 + 4 + 5) / 60 = 0.2167 hours

4. Determine the production rate in bank cubic yards per hour:
Given efficiency factor = 55% = 0.55
Production rate = 60 / cycle time * efficiency factor
Production rate = 60 / 0.2167 * 0.55 = 151.29 BCY/hr

5. Calculate the operating cost per bank cubic yard:
Given cost per hour = 109Operating cost per bank cubic yard = cost per hour / production rateOperating cost per bank cubic yard = 109 / 151.29 = 0.72 per BCY

### Answer
The cost per bank cubic yard for the material sand and gravel is 0.72$ per BCY.

Exercise 1 An ejidal association wishes to determine the distribution for the three different crops that it can plant for the next season on its available 900 hectares. Information on the total available and how many resources are required for each hectare of cultivation is shown in the following tables: Total available resource Water 15,000 m3 Fertilizer 5,000 kg Labor 125 day laborers Requirements per cultivated hectare Corn Soybeans Wheat Water 15 25 20 Fertilizer 5 8 7 Labor** 1/8 1/5 1/4 *The data in fraction means that with one day laborer it will be possible to care for 8, 5 and 4 hectares respectively. * Sales of crops 1 and 3, according to information from the Department of Agriculture, are guaranteed and exceed the capacity of the cooperative. However, soybeans must be limited to a maximum of 150 hectares. On the other hand, the profits for each hectare of crop obtained are estimated at: $7,500 for corn, $8,500 for soybeans and $8,000 for wheat. The objectives are to determine: β€’ How many hectares of each crop must be allocated so that the profit is maximum.

A psychologist is investigating the levels of test anxiety in various university courses. Anxiety is measured on a scale ranging from 0 to 100, where 0 indicates the complete absence of anxiety and 100 represents an extreme level of anxiety. From the data obtained, it has been discovered that the psychology score is triple that of nursing, and in turn, the latter has a score 10 points lower than the nutrition major. Furthermore, the score in the veterinary degree is 15 points higher than that of nutrition. Finally, if we add the scores of all the races, we will obtain a total of 173 points. Pose the equation that represents the situation described in the previous problem and determine: What is the score that psychology obtained regarding its anxiety level before the exams?
