Why am I getting this wrong
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
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

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
Floor load limit -76 lbs/sq ft
pallet weight 44 lb
tie downs 27lb
pallet surface area = 11.95 sq ft

How tight are you pulling the tiedowns? Straight down? On a 45 degree angle?
But then the pilot steps into the aircraft, he weighs 250lb, and when he plonks his foot down, it covers half a square foot, so he is loading the floor to 500lb/sq ft. Even more when you look and see he is wearing his stiletto cowboy boots. The rules is stoopid.

Is that the total question? It's not linked to a linear load limitation as well. The pallet is not on battens of reduced dimensions? Otherwise as far as I can see, your calculations are correct and can't see where their answer comes from.
