Six-tonne truck

The platform of a six-tonne truck is 2.20 m wide and 4.20 m long; the side panels are 0.75 m high.

How many cubic metres of gravel could be loaded onto the truck with the load levelled to the top of the side panels?

How deep a layer of gravel can be loaded without exceeding the vehicle's load capacity of 6 tonnes, given that 1 cubic metre of gravel has a mass of 1.8 t?

Final Answer:

V =  6.93 m3
x =  0.3608 m

Step-by-step explanation:

a=2.20 m b=4.20 m c=0.75 m  V=a b c=2.2 4.2 0.75=6.93 m3
m1=6 t ρ=1.8 t/m3  V1=m1/ρ=6/1.8=3103.3333 m3  V1 = a b x  x=a bV1=2.2 4.23.3333=0.3608 m
