Question
The maximum safe load for a
horizontal rectangular beam varies jointly with the
width of the beam and the square of the thickness of
the beam and inversely with its length. If an 8-foot beam
will support up to 750 pounds when the beam is 4 inches
wide and 2 inches thick, what is the maximum safe load
in a similar beam 10 feet long, 6 inches wide, and 2 inches
thick?
