Static, load/weight when car is parked.
Dynamic, extra force caused by going over a bump, as an example.
the weight of the load/inertia wants the load to keep moving, despite that the roof rack does not...
So when the car is parked, you might be able to have 400lbs of weight on the rack.
But if you drive and hit a bump with that weight, it might cause a lot of damage.
