Question 1009375: The weight W that a horizontal beam can
support varies inversely as the length L of the
beam. Suppose that a 6 meter beam can
support 950 kg. How many kilogram can a 10
meter beam support? Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi there,
The weight W that a horizontal beam can
support varies inversely as the length L of the
beam.
W = k/L
(Where k = constant of proportion)
950 = k/6
k = 5700
Formula:
W = 5700/L
W = 5700/10
Weight supported = 570 kg
Hope this helps :-)
