You can't park here!

Talk is cheap. Like I said....show your calculations. I am waiting. And just so we are clear....what physics courses have you taken exactly?

 

What the heck are you people arguing about, just don't park where signs say No Truck Parking.

Simple!

 

80,000lbs > 3,000lbs

Again, very basic

 

Sorry, You get an F. Again. With all your presumed physics training I expected more. Sigh. Another fraud exposed.

Nighty night little one.

 

Believe me, I feel your pain. I've been stuck in the impossible situation and had to find my way into a better one (I idled 10 miles down the shoulder on the interstate... THAT was fun.)

I don't mean to sound preachy, just pointing out that, hey, regardless of how much it sucks... it's our responsibility to move when told to do so by property owners/management regardless of "I'm out of hours", which some numbskulls try to use to justify trespassing.

 

You could just correct the math and say, "No, try SIX cars."

The only one trolling here is you by crying wolf.

 

THANK-YOU, LOL, I forgot what we were talking about.

 

You're almost correct. Yes, as area increases, weight distribution changes.

HOWEVER, when you have a 9-foot wide load, or a 14-foot wide load, or an 18-foot wide load, the CONTACT AREA remains the same, that contact area is determined by the track of trailer and truck (for those who don't know, track refers to the distance between each tire on an axle), 8ft. 6inches.

So, because your contact area is a fixed value, the width of the load really has zero bearing on the contact area of the truck, and thereby, the distribution of the weight.

Unless, of course, you get into 9-wide and 10-wide trailers, at which point, yes, the contact area changes. Or if you're running trunion axles.

 

Whew, I am so glad that this discussion is about over. It's starting to get personal and that ain't good.

 

Right.

Both of you. *shakes head*
