Question:

Cargo securement for a load weighing 37,000 lbs must be able to withstand a minimum forward braking force of _________.

A 29,600 lbs
explanation

How well must the securement system work? (Section 1.3)
Each cargo securement system must be able to withstand a minimum amount of force in each direction.
Forward Force = 80% of cargo weight when braking while driving straight ahead.
Rearward Force = 50% of cargo weight when accelerating, shifting gears while climbing a hill, or braking in reverse.
Sideways Force = 50% of cargo weight when turning, changing lanes, or braking while turning.
Upward Force = 20% of cargo weight when traveling over bumps in the road or cresting a hill.
This requirement is satisfied when the cargo is "Fully Contained."
