A limit load of \( 150 \) kN is factored to ultimate. The ultimate load is

  • A.300 kN
  • B.100 kN
  • C.225 kN
  • D.150 kN

Answer: C

Correct answer: 225 kN

\[ 150 \times 1.5 = 225\ \mathrm{kN}. \] The factor of safety between limit and ultimate load is 1.5 in essentially all civil airworthiness codes. The limit load must be carried without detrimental permanent deformation; the ultimate load must be carried for three seconds without failure.
