Question

A bridge is rated to a 100 ton capacity. What is the maximum weight object the bridge can support in kilograms? (Round to the nearest whole number and do not include units or commas in your answer.) Note: There are 0.454 kilograms in a pound and 2,240 pounds in a ton.

Answer 1

Given that the bridge can carry 100 tonnes

Given that 1 tonne = 2240 pounds

100 tonnes = 2240 * 100 = 224000 pounds

given that 1 pound = 0.454 kg

So 224000 pounds = 0.454 *224000 = 101696 kg

The bridge can carry 101696 kg as per the details given.

////////////// NOTE : general conversion of tonnes to kg is 1 tonne = 1000kg /////////////

////////////// So 100 tonnes = 100000 kg /////////////
