Hi All
Not sure of this is the appropriate forum...
I would appreciate help, I am repeatedly getting what look like very simple questions on load/CG wrong.
eg
What is the maximum allowable weight that may be carried on a pallet which has the dimensions of 35.5 x 48.5 inches
Floor load limit -76 lbs/sq ft
pallet weight 44 lb
tie downs 27lb
This looks so simple. My thinking:
pallet surface area = 11.95 sq ft
so max allowable weight 76 x 11.95 = 908.7lbs
subtract weight of pallet and tie-downs to give 837.7lbs
But the correct answer appears to be 786.5 ?
What am I missing?
Thanks
