Question 195770
The crushing load of a square wooden post varies directly as the fourth power of it's thickness and indirectly as the square of it's length.

C = k[t^4/L^2
-----
Find "k" using the following information:
A post 10 cm thick and 4m high is crushed by a load of 22.5 tons.

Comment: You have thicknes in cetimeters and length in meters but
have not stated whether they need to be expressed in the same unit.
