Question

Let y = load in pounds and x = length in feet. In two or more complete sentences, describe the relationship between the variables x and y in terms of length and weight.

Answer 1

The load and distance can be used to calculate work. work is equal to the force or load applied multiplied by the distance. work is done when a force is applied to an object then it moves to the same direction of the force applied. so the relationship of x and y is w = xy, with the unit of lb ft
