You will learning nothing from simply having me or any other member giving you the answer. You must learn to do the calculations for yourself.

The examples in my previous post illustrate how to answer this type of question.

You need to do one calculation for the static load and another for the running load.

For the maximum load that does not exceed the static load limit use:

Max load = Static load limit x floor area of load

For the maximum load that does not exceed the running load limit use:

Max load = Running load limit x longest side of of the load.

Note that the running load limit is in kg/inch and the static load limit is in kg/sq ft. So for the static load limit you need to convert inches into feet (there are 12 inches in a foot).

The maximum load is the smaller of the two figures that you will derive from these calculations.

If you then post your step-by-step solutions I or someone else will comment on them.
