Hi there,
\n" ); document.write( "The weight W that a horizontal beam can
\n" ); document.write( "support varies inversely as the length L of the
\n" ); document.write( "beam.
\n" ); document.write( "W = k/L
\n" ); document.write( "(Where k = constant of proportion)
\n" ); document.write( "950 = k/6
\n" ); document.write( "k = 5700
\n" ); document.write( "Formula:
\n" ); document.write( "W = 5700/L
\n" ); document.write( "W = 5700/10
\n" ); document.write( "Weight supported = 570 kg
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps :-)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
