Scientists in a test lab are testing the hardness of a surface before constructing a building. Calculations indicate that the entire structure would sink by a certain amount for every additional floor that is added. If the maximum permissible limit for depression of the structure is 20 centimeters, how many floors can be safely added to the building?

To determine the number of floors that can be safely added to the building, the scientists need to know the amount of depression caused by each additional floor. Once they have this information, they can divide the maximum permissible limit of 20 centimeters by the amount of depression caused by each floor to get the maximum number of floors that can be added.

Without knowing the exact amount of depression caused by each floor, it's impossible to say how many floors can be safely added to the building. The scientists will need to conduct further tests to determine this value. Only then can they calculate the maximum number of floors that the building can safely support without exceeding the permissible limit of 20 centimeters of depression.
