The load that can be supported by a rectangular beam varies jointly as the width of the beam and the square of itsâ height, and

inversely as the length of the beam. A beam feetâ long, with a width of inches and a height of inches can support a maximum load of pounds. If a similar board has a width of inches and a height of âinches, how long must it be to support âpounds?

The question is incomplete.Here is the complete question.

The load that can be supported by a rectangular beam varies jointly as the width of the beam and the square of its length, and inversely as the length of the beam. A beam 13 feet long, with a width of 6 inches and a height of 4 inches can support a maximum load of 800 pounds. If a similar board has a width of 8 inches and a height of 7 inches, how long must it be to support 1300 pounds?

Answer: It must be 392 inches or approximately 33 feet.

Step-by-step explanation: According to the question, the measures (width, length and height) of a beam and the weight it supports are in a relation of <u>proportionality</u>, i.e., if divided, the result is a constant.

For the first load:

width = 6in

height = 4in

length = 13ft or 156in

weight = 800lbs

Then, constant will be:

\frac{6.4^{2}}{156} k = 800

k=\frac{800.156}{96}

k = 1300

For the similar beam:

\frac{8.7^{2}}{L}1300=1300

L = 49.8

L = 392in or 32.8ft

A similar board will support 1300lbs if it has 392 inches or 32.8 feet long.

If a person ran 1/2 of a mile in 1/10 of an hour. How far will the person run in one (1) hour?
makvit [3.9K]

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1/10 of 1hr = 1/2 mile

10*(1/10) of 1hr = 10(1/2) mile

(10/10) of 1hr = (10/2) mile

1 of 1hr = 5mile

It says, he can run 5 miles in 1 hour

cluponka [151]
<span>Exactly 8*pi - 16
 Approximately 9.132741229 For this problem, we need to subtract the area of the square from the area of the circle. In order to get the area of the circle, we need to calculate its radius, which will be half of its diameter. And the diameter will be the length of the diagonal for the square. And since the area of the square is 16, that means that each side has a length of 4. And the Pythagorean theorem will allow us to easily calculate the diagonal. So: sqrt(4^2 + 4^2) = sqrt(16 + 16) = sqrt(32) = 4*sqrt(2) Therefore the radius of the circle is 2*sqrt(2). And the area of the circle is pi*r^2 = pi*(2*sqrt(2)) = pi*8 So the area of the rest areas is exactly 8*pi - 16, or approximately 9.132741229</span>
