The maximum weight allowed on the bridge is 3000 lbs/vhicle. In engineering, the engineers build in buffer ("play room") to everything. Meaning if the real limit was 3000, they would rate it at 15000 lb. (or some safe number). Put it another way, if the weight limit was 3000 lb, you can be sure that the actual TESTED or theoretical limit would be MUCH higher.

The same is true of everything in engineering, Civil engineering, Architectural science, mechanical science.

What is load capacity of a safety net?

There are many types of safety nets and they all have different ratings. Those that are used hanging below bridges are going to have a higher load capacity than those used for the trapeze artist. Need more specifics to answer.

Why is it that when the load exceeds the network capacity delay tends to infinity?

As load exceeds network capacity, packets gets jammed at nodes. These packets never go forward unless load goes below network capacity. Hence when load exceeds network capacity delay tends to infinity. As load exceeds network capacity, packets gets jammed at nodes. These packets never go forward unless load goes below network capacity. Hence when load exceeds network capacity delay tends to infinity.


Can a lift truck with a 6000 lb capacity at 24 load center lift the load below with 30 load center?

No, a lift truck with a 6000 lb capacity at a 24-inch load center cannot safely lift a load with a 30-inch load center. The capacity of a lift truck decreases as the load center increases, meaning that the effective lifting capacity at a 30-inch load center would be lower than 6000 lbs. It's important to refer to the lift truck's load capacity chart to determine the specific capacity at different load centers.
