A cubic container has a length of 0.9 m. The maximum mass that can be loaded in this container without exceeding the maximum permissible floor load of 240 kg/m2 is…
  • A
    329.21 kg
  • B
    296.29 kg
  • C
    174.96 kg
  • D
    194.40 kg
Floor loading limits are specified by the manufacturers and must be observed by the operators. There are two limits to consider:
  • The maximum distribution load intensity or maximum permissible floor load
  • The maximum linear load or maximum permissible floor running load

The maximum distribution load intensity is the maximum static mass per unit area which the floor is designed to continuously carry. The distribution load intensity can be calculated by dividing the load by the floor area it covers or the contact area: Load intensity = Load / Floor area covered or contact area.

The floor area that is covered by the cubic container is: 0.9 m x 0.9 m = 0.81 m2.

Thus, the maximum mass that can be loaded in the cubic container is: Max Load = Max Load intensity x Floor area covered = 240 kg/m2 x 0.81 m2 = 194.4 kg.
