    In effect, the formula reduces the legal weight limit for shorter trucks with fewer axles (see table below). For example, a 25-foot (7.6 m) three-axle dump truck would have a gross weight limit of 54,500 pounds (24,700 kg), instead of 80,000 pounds (36,000 kg), which is the standard weight limit for 63-foot (19.2 m) five-axle tractor-trailer.

    Typically, it is written in the form x/y, where x is the percentage of weight in the front, and y is the percentage in the back. In a vehicle which relies on gravity in some way, weight distribution directly affects a variety of vehicle characteristics, including handling, acceleration, traction, and component life. For this reason weight ...

    Obese and pregnant patients will have a lower FRC in the supine position due to the added tissue weight opposing the outward recoil of the chest wall thus reducing chest wall compliance. In pregnancy, this starts at about the fifth month and reaches 10-20% decrease at term. [ 6 ]
