The strength of a rectangular beam varies jointly with its width and the square of its thickness. if a beam 7 7 inches wide and

3 3 inches thick supports 2520 2520 ​pounds, how much can a beam of the same material that is 2 2 inches wide and 1 1 inch inch thick​ support?

To solve the joint variation question we proceed as follows:
let the strength be p, the width be w, and thickness be t.
thus:
p=kwt
where k is the constant of proportionality.
p=2520 when w=7 and t=3
thus
2520=7*3*k
hence
k=120
thus the formula for variation is:
p=120wt
hence the value of p when w=2 in and t=1 in will be:
p=120*2*1
p=240 pounds

Calibrating a scale:
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

We conclude that the calibration point is set too high.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Population mean, μ =  1000 grams

Sample mean, \bar{x} =  1001.1 grams

Sample size, n = 50

Alpha, α = 0.05

Population standard deviation, σ = 2.8 grams

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

H_{0}: \mu = 1000\text{ grams}\\H_A: \mu > 1000\text{ grams}

We use One-tailed(right) z test to perform this hypothesis.

Formula:

z_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} }

Putting all the values, we have

z_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{ 1001.1 - 1000}{\frac{2.8}{\sqrt{50}} } = 2.778

Now, z_{critical} \text{ at 0.01 level of significance } = 2.326

Since,  

z_{stat} > z_{critical}

We reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternate hypothesis. We accept the alternate hypothesis. We conclude that the calibration point is set too high.

A triangle and a rectangle are shown below.
nadezda [96]

Answer:

10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram,

Applying,

lw = 5/2(bh)..................... Equation 1

Where l = length of the rectangle, w = width of the rectangle, b = base of the triangle, h = height of the triangle.

make w the subject of the equation

w = 5(bh)/2l............... Equation 2

From the diagram,

Given: l = 12 cm, b = 6 cm, h = 8 cm

Substitute into equation 2

w = 5(6×8)/(2×12)

w = 10 cm

Hence the width of the rectangle is 10 cm
