Am i over weight?

Question

I am a truck driver hauling cows,,,If i am koaded and weight 79999 pounds..and 80000lbs is the limit.// If all the cows took a dump at the same time, would i be over weight?

Answer 1

Yes dude, coz until its dumped, it stays in a compressed form without air, so its weight is less as compared to when its dumped. Because when its dumped, it gathers air in the porus because of which its weight increases, though the increase is very small. But when its cumulative effect is taken in consideration and as the limit left is only 1lbs, it will get over weight.

You can practically aslo confirm this, weight the cow before dumppin and than weight after dumppin and see the difference in the weight of the cow, and now compare the diff in weight with the dump, you will get the answer wat i have said.

:-D

Answer 2

No. Whatever the mass was of the cattle and their stomach contents upon loading would remain constant. Some of that mass changed form, but mass was neither created nor destroyed so the weight would be the same and you would not be overweight.

Answer 3

Actually, since there would no doubt be some flatulence accompanying the dump, I think you would weigh less. I can see this being potentially useful information when getting through the weigh stations.

Answer 4

no, your truck would weigh the same after and before the dump. whether it isinternal or external doesnt matter.

Answer 5

No. But if you eat too many more of those double bacon cheeseburgers with fries at the truckstop you will be ☺
