If a car weighs 2500 lbs with a capacity of 2500 lbs and the CWT is weighed at 40%, how much is the motor lifting at 100% load?

To determine how much the motor is lifting at 100% load, we first understand the total weight that is being supported by the vehicle and the contribution from the capacity that is being considered.

The car weighs 2500 lbs, and it has a capacity of 2500 lbs which implies that it can carry an additional 2500 lbs. The question states that the cumulative weight (CWT) is weighed at 40%. This suggests that 40% of the car's maximum carrying capacity is currently loaded.

Calculating the current load:

• 40% of the capacity (2500 lbs) is equal to 0.40 x 2500 lbs = 1000 lbs.

At this point, the total weight that the motor is lifting includes both the weight of the car itself (2500 lbs) and the current load (1000 lbs):

• Total weight = weight of the car + current load = 2500 lbs + 1000 lbs = 3500 lbs.

When the capacity is considered at 100% load, it essentially means the motor should be prepared to lift the full weight of the car plus its full capacity. In this scenario, if the motor is indeed lifting at maximum capacity, the total weight still
