Strength of a beam The strength of a rectangular beam is di- rectly proportional to the product of its width and the square of the depth of a cross section (see the figure). A beam of width 1.5 feet has been cut from a cylindrical log of radius 1 foot. Find the width of a second rectangular beam of equal strength that could have been cut from the log. Exercise 48 Rectangular beam Depth Width
