The following roofing materials are stacked on a pallet at a construction site. The pallet is 4 ft by 7 ft, and the materials have been cut and stacked so that each layer completely covers the pallet. Use ASCE 7-10 to determine the total dead load resting on the pallet.4 layers of asphalt shingles5 layers of decking, 2-in. wood (Douglas fir)6 layers of plywood, 1/2-in. thick
