Ok, let's see I'm going to guess that the truck is about 2.5 tons, and at a distance of about 30 yards. Apply the inverse of the relative density of the objects to the distance. Multiply by 1.45 to account for the aperture settings of the camera. Now subtract the 10 pounds the camera added. Add in the load of b.s. and that of course the answer is exactly 24.39814 tons give or take...

Not bad!! But you have not factored in the angle of dangle
Look at the road. Look at the block. I guess it would nearly cover the floor of a 40 tonner. But it would be wayyyy maxed out on weight. Divide the block by four to bring it within the weight limit that and suggests a block weight c. 160 tons - and then factor in the angle of dangle....
Hey Jonathan, this is a *sad* way to to be spending Xmas Eve. I must go back to stuffing the bird.
