Can anyone tell me what structure would support more weight? And why?
Assume all lines are suppose to be straight.

SUMMARY
The discussion centers on structural support for heavy loads, emphasizing the importance of understanding the application of weight in structural design. Participants highlight that the location of weight application significantly influences the choice of materials and structural configurations. Specific structures, such as beams and trusses, are mentioned as effective solutions for distributing heavy loads. The conversation underscores the necessity of precise engineering principles in determining the most suitable support structures.
PREREQUISITES- Basic knowledge of structural engineering principles
- Understanding of load distribution in construction
- Familiarity with materials used in structural support
- Knowledge of beam and truss design
