[QUOTE="birdiemc, post: 1820839, member: 29632"] I just checked all Cohunts math and I checked mine again and figured out we said the same thing. There is more actual force exerted on the large bolt head than the smaller one. Its because you are not placing a 60,000 lb weight on the bolt, you are applying 60,000lbs to every square inch on the bolt...so back to your table example you're not placing a 1000lb weight on top of the 4ft square table, instead you're placing one 1000lb weight on every square inch of the table, which would effectively transfer 2,304,000lbs to the floor, vs a 1ft table which would only be 144,000lbs transferred to the floor. 4ft x 4ftx 144sq in per sq ft= 2,304,000 1ft x 1ft x 144sq in per sq ft= 144,000 [/QUOTE]
