Question

A small crane has a lifting capacity of 2 ½ tons. Could it be used to safely lift a load of 95,000 ounces?

Answer 1

No

Explanation:

Because according to the crane capacity, it can actually lift up to 95,000 ounces.

According to that,

1. You have to convert 95,000 ounces to tons to determine the real capacity in that unit . To convert a ounce measurement to a ton measurement. The formula is:

1 tons = 3.125E-5 ounces

The weight in tons is equal to:

95,000 oz = (95,000 × 3.125E-5) = 2.96875 t

So the crane can not safely lift a load 95,000 ounces.
