How many pounds should a guardrail system be able to withstand?
1200 poundsa guardrail system be able to withstand at least 200 pounds.
How do structures withstand force?
Structures are able to withstand outside forces by having sufficient resistance and capacity so that they can respind with equal magnitude of the forces acting over them.
What is the definition of compression force?
The application of a compression force to an object causes it to become squashed or compacted. Some solid materials like stone and ceramics are able to withstand very large compressive forces with very little measurable deformation which make them a suitable building material for the construction of high walls and columns.
How many pounds must a sand bag weigh to test if a safety net can absorb the proper amount of force?
A safety net must be able to absorb the force of a 400-pound bag of sand dropping on to a safety net.
Why are you not crushed by atmosperic pressure?
Because your structure has evolved in order to withstand atmospheric pressure. A creature that could not survive atmospheric pressures would not be able to survive, and therefore would not be able to produce offspring. All of the body's tissues contain dissolved air (nitrogen & oxygen) at pressure equilibrium with the atmosphere. In effect the body "pushes back" against atmospheric pressure, just as ocean creatures withstand crushing water pressure by mostly consisting of water.
How many pounds of force must a guardrail top rail be able to withstand?
200 pounds
How many pounds should a guardrail system be able to withstand?

Why don't moths and butterflies fly around when it is raining?
Their delicate wings wouldn't be able to withstand the force of the falling raindrops.
What makes steel be able to withstand a greater tensile force than iron?
Steel is an alloy; alloying components improve the properties of steel.
What pressure does a dive mask have to be able to withstand?
Enough to keep you from dying. After undergoing and extended research, no exact number was revealed for the pressure a dive mask must withstand. Although they obviously must withstand thousands of pounds of pressure due to the weight of the ocean water that one will be wading through.
I live in florida, will the Fast Framer Storage Shed Kit be able to withstand hurricane force winds?
Of course it will! Many of these have been shipped to Florida and held up wonderfully!
What adaptations are necessary for organisms that live in the intertidal zone?
organisms need to adapt to dramatic changes in temperature,moisture,and salinity and must be able to withstand the force of wave action
What is the crush rating on safety shoes?
Safety toe caps are tested on impact and compression resistance. The European Norm EN 20345 requires safety toe caps to - be able to withstand an impact force of 200 J (equal to 20kg falling from 1m high) - be able to withstand a compression of 15000 N (equal to a pressure of 1500 kg)
I need to know an extremely lightweight material that will be able to withstand a human weight of aprox. 150 pounds or more while suspended. I'm thinking titanium or Plexiglas. Any other suggestions?
Teflon
