It will not hold.

Step-by-step explanation:

A) No.

It cannot hold 1 tonne of weight since it model capacity was 8000 ounces.

1 tonne = 2204.623 pounds.

But 1 pound = 16 ounce

X pounds = 8000 ounce

X = (8000 * 1) / 16

X = 500 pounds.

The bridge can only carry 500pounds.

But, 1 tonne = 2204.623 pounds

X tonne = 500 pounds

X = (1 * 500) / 2204.623

X = 0.2267 tonnes.

The maximum weight which the bridge can carry is 0.2267 tonnes.

The bridge will not hold 1 tonne
