there is a fairly long bridge, the bridge can only withstand a maximum of 3,000 pounds, absolutely no more. now there is a truck about to drive across this bridge, the truck weighs exactly 3,000 pounds. about 3/4 of the way across the bridge a bird lands on top of the truck, and the bridge does not collapse.

how is this possible?
 
the 3000 pound limit only refers to the center of the bridge.Once you pass the center the weight limit increases.Since the truck is 3/4 across,it can withstand more than 3000 pounds
 
no and no.

the 3/4 part is to make it clear that the truck has gone a decent distance into the bridge, not to trick you about the strength of the bridge; it is constant
 
ok, i realize it might not have been made clear:

THE TRUCK HAS DRIVEN ON THE BRIDGE, and a bird lands on top of the truck as it is on the bridge

The truck hasn't crossed the bridge yet, it is "about" to drive across the bridge.

The bird is 3/4 of the way across the bridge in the air and plans to land on the truck.

The bridge doesn't collapse because nothing is on the bridge yet.
Lmao, that would of worked too except tha 'and plans to land ont he truck' cuz it said it did land on 'the' truck

if dude missed a word or watever with it that wouldve been Co rect :thumb::thumb:


I DONT KNOW THE ANSWER 2 THIS. I THINK ITS TO DO WITH LAWS OF MOTION.

nahh it clearly implies that the truck is crossing the bride, it is "about 3/4 of the way across the bridge and a bird lands on top of the truck"

is it 3,000 lbs including the driver?

would it make a difference? yes it includes the driver.

no the driver does not jump out of the vehicle as the bird is about to land on it

EDIT: THE BRIDGE IS ON THE FLOOR, NOT A RIVER, SO IT DONT HAVE SHIT 2 COLLAPSE 2.
