Loading capacity of the railway platform is 20t. Is it possible to load coal into it up to a height of 76 cm

Loading capacity of the railway platform is 20t. Is it possible to load coal into it up to a height of 76 cm, if the platform is 6.4 m long, 2.74 m wide, and the mass of 1 m3 of coal is 1.3 tons?

Let’s find the volume of coal loaded onto the platform, if its dimensions are equal: length 6.4 meters, width: 2.74 meters, and the coal is loaded to a height of 76 centimeters:

6.4 * 2.74 * 0.76 = 13.34 m³

Let us find the mass of coal loaded onto the platform, if its specific gravity is 1.3 t / m³:

13.34 * 1.3 = 17.3 t.

Answer: the mass of coal loaded on the platform is 17.3 tons, since the platform is designed for 20 tons, then this coal can be transported without fear.
