Jeff is designing the rectangular top of a pool table with a width of 4 ft, length of 8 ft, and thickness of 2 ft.
\n" ); document.write( " The base that he is putting the table on can hold a maximum of 2,000 lbs.
\n" ); document.write( " If 1 cubic foot of the material weighs 31 lbs, the pool table's base holds the weight of the table top?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "You have to find the volume of the top: 4 * 8 * 2 = 64 cu/ft
\n" ); document.write( "Find the total weight: 64 * 31 = 1984 lb, so a base that holds 2000 lb is OK,
\n" ); document.write( "provided some guy does not decide to sleep on that table (It has happened).
\n" ); document.write( "The pool balls etc should total less that 16 lb. \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
