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

larisa [96]

Use "PEMDAS"
First we'll add then subtract

$\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{6} + \frac{2}{6} = \frac{4}{6}= \frac{2}{3}$

$\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{8}{12} - \frac{3}{12} = \frac{5}{12}$

$\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{5}{12}$

A rectangular painting by Leonardo da Vinci measured 62cm along its diagonal. If the painting has a height of 42 cm how wide is

IRINA_888 [86]

ANSWER

45.6cm to the nearest tenth.

EXPLANATION

The diagonal of the rectangular painting is 62cm.

The height of the painting is 42 cm.

The height of the painting h , the diagonal, and the width of the painting forms a right triangle with the diagonal being the hypotenuse.

From the Pythagoras Theorem,

${w}^{2} + {42}^{2} = {62}^{2}$

${w}^{2} = {62}^{2} - {42}^{2}$

${w}^{2} = 2080$

${w} = \sqrt{2080}$

$w = 4 \sqrt{130}$

The width of the painting is 45.6cm to the nearest tenth.

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Perhaps, she is interested in finding the area enclosed by this triangular park.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the triangle enclosed by the three points

A(1,1), B(1,4) and C(-3,4) in this question will be given by

|Ax ( By − Cy)+ Bx(Cy−Ay)+ Cx(Ay− By) |/2

=|1(4-4)+1(4-1)+-3(1-4)|/2=10/5= 5 sq. units.

If you place a cup of 210 degree Fahrenheit coffee on a table in a room that is 68 degrees fareinheit, and ten minutes later, it

Lana71 [14]

Newton's Law of Cooling

Tf=Ts+(Ti-Ts)e^(-kt) where Tf is temp at time t, Ts is temp of surroundings, Ti is temp of object/fluid. So we need to find k first.

200=68+(210-68)e^(-10k)

132=142e^(-10k)

132/142=e^(-10k)

ln(132/142)=-10k

k=-ln(132/142)/10

k≈0.0073 so

T(t)=68+142e^(-0.0073t) so how long until it reaches 180°?

180=68+142e^(-0.0073t)

112=142e^(-0.0073t)

112/142=e^(-0.0073t)

ln(112/142)=-0.0073t

t= -ln(112/142)/(0.0073)

t≈32.51 minutes

I need help with this I don’t understand what it’s asking.

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

Because it is a square table, that means all the sides are even. And to find the area, we do Height * Base. But again, because they're even, we would just need to find 2 numbers that multiply to be 400. And that number, is 20. 20 * 20 = 400. So the length of one side is 20.
