The load requirement in your plan is 60 psf at a joist spacing of 16 inches . If the room dimensions are length 13 feet 2 inches and width 11feet 7 inches are 2 by 10 boards appropriate

Sagot :

The correct answer is; No, because the 2 x 10 boards can support neither the width nor length of the room.

How to find the dimensions?

We are given;

Load requirement = 60 psf

Joist Spacing = 16 inches

Length of room; 13 feet 2 inches

Width of room; 11 feet 7 inches.

Since we want to consider whether 2 by 10 boards are appropriate, this  length of  2 by 10 will not be appropriate because it cannot cover up for a room with dimensions of 13 feet 2 inches and 11 feet 7 inches.

Thus, we can conclude that No, because the 2 x 10 boards can support neither the width nor length of the room.

The missing options are;

A. Yes, because 2 x 10 boards can support the width and length of the room

B. Yes, because 2 x 10 boards support the 70 psf

C. No, because 2 x 10 boards can support only the width of the room

D. No, because the 2 x 10 boards can support neither the width nor length of the room
