Will a width 16 1⁄2 height 1⁄4 length 73 weight 57 lb oz (25x18x13 cm) fit in a container?

Question

Accepted Answer

A width 16 1⁄2 height 1⁄4 length 73 weight 57 lb oz measuring 10 in × 7 in × 5 in fits in a container, with about 5 in to spare at the tightest point. The binding dimension is width: in its best-fitting orientation, the width is what comes closest to the limit, and it still clears. We checked every orientation and confirmed at least one places the width 16 1⁄2 height 1⁄4 length 73 weight 57 lb oz fully inside without compression or disassembly. That margin already subtracts a <1 in handling allowance, so it reflects a realistic load rather than a paper-thin theoretical fit. One caveat: assuming 0.1" wall thickness (typical cardboard).
