Step One
======
Find the length of FO (see below)

All of the triangles are equilateral triangles. Label the center as O
FO = FE = sqrt(5) + sqrt(2)

Step Two
======
Drop a perpendicular bisector from O to the midpoint of FE. Label the midpoint as J. Find OJ

Sure the Pythagorean Theorem. Remember that OJ is a perpendicular bisector.

FO^2 = FJ^2 + OJ^2
FO = sqrt(5) + sqrt(2)
FJ = 1/2 [(sqrt(5) + sqrt(2)] \
OJ = ??

[Sqrt(5) + sqrt(2)]^2 = [1/2(sqrt(5) + sqrt(2) ] ^2 + OJ^2
5 + 2 + 2*sqrt(10) = [1/4 (5 + 2 + 2*sqrt(10) + OJ^2
7 + 2sqrt(10) = 1/4 (7 + 2sqrt(10)) + OJ^2 Multiply through by 4
28 + 8* sqrt(10) = 7 + 2sqrt(10) + 4 OJ^2 Subtract 7 + 2sqrt From both sides
21 + 6 sqrt(10) = 4OJ^2 Divide both sides by 4
21/4 + 6/4* sqrt(10) = OJ^2
21/4 + 3/2 * sqrt(10) = OJ^2 Take the square root of both sides.
sqrt OJ^2 = sqrt(21/4 + 3/2 sqrt(10) )
OJ = sqrt(21/4 + 3/2 sqrt(10) )

Step three
find h
h = 2 * OJ
h = 2* sqrt(21/4 + 3/2 sqrt(10) ) <<<<<< answer.

The bending of a bean varies directly as its mas. A beam is bent 20mm by a mass 0f 40kg. how much will the beam bend with a mass

Naddik [55]

Answer:

The beam will bend by 50 mm with a mass of 100kg?

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step in solving the problem of direct variation is setting up the relation mathematically.

We can do this as follows:

The bending of the beam varies directly as its mass.

$20 \alpha 40kg$

$\alpha$ here is the symbol representing direct variation. To remove this and replace it with an equality sign, we have to introduce a constant of proportionality, k
