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

What’s the right answer?
Nataly [62]
I will give you the formula and teach you how to solve this. Let’s start with finding the area of both the right triangles.
The formula is, base x height / 2 = area
Triangle 1 - 2x8/2 = 16/2 = 8
Triangle 2 - 2x8/2 = 16/2 = 8
Rectangle - 8x3 = 24
Add them up: 24 + 8 + 8 = 40 square feet
I hope this wasn’t to confusing
