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( " |
