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

Question 1: find the volume of a cube whose total surface area is 486cm^2
lapo4ka [179]
<h3>The volume of cube is 729 cubic centimeter</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>The surface area of cube is given as:</u></em>

Surface\ area = 6a^2

Where, "a" is the length of side of cube

Given that, surface area = 486 square centimeter

486 = 6a^2\\\\a^2 = \frac{486}{6}\\\\a^2 = 81\\\\a = 9

<u><em>Find the volume of cube:</em></u>

volume\ of\ cube = a^3\\\\volume\ of\ cube = 9^3\\\\volume\ of\ cube = 9 \times 9 \times 9\\\\volume\ of\ cube = 729

Thus volume of cube is 729 cubic centimeter

3x + 2y = 5 5x + 2y = 7 Based on the given system of equations, which of the following is not true? 2x = 2 8x = 12 4y = 4
weqwewe [10]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

8x = 12

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Subtracting the first equation from the second, you get ...

... (5x +2y) -(3x +2y) = (7) -(5)

... 2x = 2 . . . . . the first answer choice is true

___

Multiplying this expression for x by 4, we get

... 8x = 8 . . . . . the second answer choice (8x=12) is false

___

Adding thee first equation to the second, you get ...

... (3x +2y) +(5x +2y) = (5) +(7)

... 8x +4y = 12

... 8 + 4y = 12 . . . . . . use the value of 8x just computed

... 4y = 4 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 8; the third answer choice is true

_____

<em>Alternate approaches</em>

In short, if you solve the system by any of the methods available, you find x=1 and y=1, so the second answer choice is clearly the correct one:

... 8x ≠ 12

By Cramer's method:

... x = (2·7-2·5)/(2·5-2·3) = 4/4 = 1

... y = (5·5-7·3)/4 = 4/4 = 1

By graphing, see attached.

By substitution (for 2y):

... 5x +(5-3x) =7 . . . . . using 2y=5-3x

... 2x = 2 . . . . . . subtract 5

... x = 1 . . . . . . . .divide by 2

... 5 -3·1 = 2y = 2 . . . . substitute x into the expression for 2y

... y = 1 . . . . . . . divide by 2

By matrix methods, see the second attachment. (x, y) = (1, 1), found in the rightmost column of the result.
