PLEASE HELP!
Many bridges have signs that tell trucks how much weight the bridge can hold. The bridge limits are affected by how that load is distributed across the truck. (Figure 1)
For this example, the 8-ton truck has two axles, the 16-ton truck has three axles, and the 24-ton truck has four axles. (Figure 2)
For this example, we are assuming that all axles will carry the same weight.
(Figure 1 and 2 are shown below)
From the road sign, construct a table (use a ruler) that documents the number of axles and the number of wheels the 8-ton, 16-ton, and 24-ton truck has.
Use the 5-step process to calculate the weight each axle on each truck can carry.
Explain using Claim, Evidence, and Reasoning structure why the two trucks in figure 1 have different effects (one bends the bridge, one does not)
