The load that the same type of beam can support is 583.345 pounds if its width is 3.5 inches.

As the maximum load that can be carried by the beam is directly proportional to the width of the beam and a 1.5 inches wide beam can support a load of 250 pounds, an equation can be written as;

L = kw

Here L represents the maximum load supported and w represents the width and k is the constant of proportionality. Therefore;

250 = k × 1.5

Solving for k;

k = 250 ÷ 1.5

k = 166.67

Therefore the equation can be written as;

L = 166.67 w

As the width of the same type of beam is 3.5 inches, the maximum load it can support can be calculated as follows;

L = 166.67 × 3.5

L = 583.345 pounds

Therefore; 583.345 pounds is the maximum load that the beam can support if its width is 3.5 inches.

fomenos

Answer:

1. Measure the temperature of the boxes and leave them unconnected.

2. Norton reduces his circuit down to a single resistance in parallel with a constant current source. A real-life Norton equivalent circuit would be continuously wasting power (as heat) as the current source dumps energy into the resistor, even when externally unconnected, while a Thevenin equivalent circuit would sit there doing nothing.

3. The Norton equivalent box would get warm and eventually run out of power. The Thevenin equivalent box would stay at ambient temperature.

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

my opinion would be electric

Explanation:

because when it comes down to the bare minimum the best choice for the world in the long run would be electric because it puts a big dent back for global warming and the burning of gasses so the more people who drive electric cars are the people who are trying to save the world a little at a time by preventing the burning of gasses. hope this helps :)
