A simple log bridge in a remote area consists of 2 parallel logs with planks across them. The log has an average diameter of 300 mm. A truck moves slowly across the bridge, which spans 2.5 m. Assume that the weight of the truck is equally distributed between the 2 legs. Because the wheel base of the truck is greater than 25 m. Only 1 set of the wheels is on the bridge at a time.
