A farmer has harvested his crop and has tied in to sack each weighing exactly 50 KG's.He wants to take it to his warehouse which is on the other side of the river which has a bridge which can support exactly 1500 KG's. So he brings a small truck and weighs it. It measures exactly 500 KG's (along with his own weight).So he loads 20 sacks during his each trip and takes them across to the other side.What happens during the 11th trip is that another hunter who is shooting sparrows shoots one and the sparrow directly lands on the top of the truck while it is in the middle of the bridge.
Question is..
Will the bridge break down?
If yes why yes?If no Why no?
