TRANSPORT MANAGEMENT ASSIGNMENT TASKS

Q 1. Solve the following: (Compulsory question)
a) A drawing showing the above beam,

We know,

1 ton = 1000kg

So,

32 ton = (32 x 1000) kg = 32000kg

The weight due to 32 ton is W = 32000 x g

W = 313920N

Moment about C will be,

-W x 14 + RB x 4 = 0

RB = (W X 14)/4

Surname
4

RB = 3.5W

RB = 3.5 X 313920

RB = 109872000N

= 1098.72 kN

Therefore, the axle pressure on the front axle is 1098.72 kN
b) Already given information
V = 86.65m3
l = 44’5’’ (44ft + 5in)
b = 8’5’’ (8ft + 5 in)

The expression to find the volume of the container is,
V = lbh
Substituting the necessary values, the expression will be,
(86.65 m3)(35.315 ft3 / 1m3) = {44ft + 5 in (1ft / 12in)} {44ft + 5 in (1ft / 12 in)}h
h = 1.5511 ft
h = 1ft + 0.5511ft (12in / 1ft)
h = 1’ 7’ ’

c) Having an assumption that the containers have an equal volume, thus, it means that the
number of 40ft container will be half as that of the 20 t containers.
Information given is
