Answer:

joint variation means L (safe load) is directly proportional to both w and d2

inverse proportionality means L = k/l

So the equation is:

L = k(wd2/l)

You are given:

w = 6 in

d = 5 in

l = 12 ft

L = 7666 lbs

7666 = k(6*52/12)

Solve for the constant, k.

7666 = k (6*25/12)

7666 = k (150/12)

7666 = k (12.5)

613.28 lbs/(ft.in3) = k

Use this k-value to solve for L in the last part of the question.

What safe load, L would a beam 3 in. wide, 7 in. deep and 15 ft long of the same material support? (Round off your answer to the nearest pound.)

w = 3 in

d =7 in

l = 15 ft

k = 613.28 lbs/(ft.in3)

Final Safe load = 6010.144 lbs *** Edited for clarity and to fix a multiplication erro

Writing to explain if 5 potatoes together have a mass of 1 kilogram and 8 pears together have a mass of 1,200 grams, which has t
spayn [35]
Since 1 kilogram equals 1,000 grams 5 potatoes equals 1,000 grams. 1,000 divided by 5 is 200. This means 1 potato has a mass of 200 grams 1,200 divided by 8 is 150. that means a pear has a mass of 150 grams. Since 200 grams is bigger then 150 grams, that means the potato has greater mass>

Holly buys a $22 shirt for 20% off. The tax rate in her city is 6.5%. What is the total amount she paid for the shirt? Round to
Digiron [165]

Answer:

$18.74

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the sale price:

22 * 0.2 = 4.4

22 - 4.4 = 17.6

or, you can just multiply by 0.8, so you wont need to subtract later

22 * 0.8 = 17.6

Then, you need to find the tax amount:

17.6 * 6.5 = 1.144

17.6 + 1.144 = 18.744

Round

18.74
