The maximum weight that a rectangular beam can support varies jointly as its width and the square of its height and inversely as

its length. If a beam one fourth
foot​ wide, one third
foot​ high, and 12 feet long can support 30 ​tons, find how much a similar beam can support if the beam is one fourth
foot​ wide, one half
foot​ high, and 12 feet long.

\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{joint compound proportional variation} \\\\ \begin{array}{llll} \textit{\underline{y} varies directly with \underline{x}}\\ \textit{and inversely with \underline{z}} \end{array}\implies y=\cfrac{kx}{z}\impliedby \begin{array}{llll} k=constant\ of\\ \qquad variation \end{array} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{W varies jointly as its width, squared heght and inversely with length}}{W=\cfrac{wh^2}{L}}

\bf \textit{now we also know that }~~ \begin{cases} w=\frac{1}{4}\\ h=\frac{1}{3}\\ L=12\\ W=30 \end{cases}\implies 30=\cfrac{~~k\frac{1}{4}\left( \frac{1}{3} \right)^2~~}{12} \\\\\\ 360=\cfrac{k}{36}\implies 12960=k~\hfill \boxed{W=\cfrac{12960wh^2}{L}}

\bf \textit{when } \begin{cases} w=\frac{1}{4}\\ h=\frac{1}{2}\\ L=12 \end{cases}\textit{ what is \underline{W}?}\qquad W=\cfrac{12960\left( \frac{1}{4} \right)\left(\frac{1}{2} \right)^2}{12} \\\\\\ W=1080\left( \cfrac{1}{4} \right)\left( \cfrac{1}{4} \right)\implies W=1080\cdot \cfrac{1}{16}\implies W=\cfrac{135}{2}\implies W=67\frac{1}{2}

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

<u><em>3544.392</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of the total number of population is P=2000The value of the rate of interest isR%=4.5%The value of the time is T=13yrs

For compounded annually

n=1

The expression for the final value of the population after

13years is,A=2000(1+4.5100)13=3544.392
