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.

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

The correct answer is 'velocity'of liquid flowing out of an orifice is proportional to the square root of the 'height'  of liquid above the center of the orifice.

Explanation:

Torricelli's theorem states that

v_{exit}=\sqrt{2gh}

where

v_{exit} is the velocity with which the fluid leaves orifice

h is the head under which the flow occurs.

Thus we can compare the given options to arrive at the correct answer

Velocity is proportional to square root of head under which the flow occurs.

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Technician b is correct

Explanation:

Before adjusting drive-belt tension, it is very important to check the vehicle workshop manual for specified belt tension, so that you can match your reading against the specification in the vehicle's service manual. If the tension reading you have matches the suggested reading in the vehicle's service manual and the belt is not damaged then you do not need to proceed any further. But if the reading does not match, then you can adjust the belt tension.

Therefore, technician b is correct.
