the safe load, l, of a wooden beam supported at both ends varies jointly as the width, w, the square of the depth, d, and inversely as the length, l. a wooden beam 6in. wide, 9in. deep, and 12ft long holds up 1090lb. what load would a beam 5in. wide, 4in. deep and 17ft long of the same material support? (round off your answer to the nearest pound.)

Safe Load is 127 lb.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Load (L) = 1090 lb.

width(w) = 6 in.

depth (d) = 9 in.

length (l) = 12 ft.

Since all other units are in inches and unit of length is in feet, So we will convert foot into inches we get;

1 feet = 12 inches

12 feet =

Hence length(l)= 144 in.

Now also Given

Load varies directly with width and square of depth and inversely with length.

Hence we can say that;

L∝

Hence where k is constant.

Now Substituting the given values we will find the value of k we get;

Also Given:

width(w) = 5 in.

depth(d) = 4 in.

length(l) = 17 ft.

1 ft. = 12 in.

17 ft =

Hence length(l) = 204 in.

k = 322.96

We need to find the load beam(L);

Substituting new values we get;

Rounding the load in nearest pound we get;

Load beam(L) = 127 lb

Hence Safe  Load is 127 lb.

let x be the money she spent so that she can earn the free t-shirt.

since, she already spent $112.49

⇒

also, as per the statement: jennifer must spend $250 or more in order to qualify for a free t-shirt at the store.

then,

we have an inequality i.,e

subtract 112.49 from both sides we get;

therefore, $137. 51 more money does jennifer need to spend so that she can earn the free t-shirt

x + 4/7
