What is the weight—strength relationship in scaling?
To Explain: The weight-strength relationship in scaling.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The scaling is study of how size affects the relationship between the weight, strength and surface area.
As size of the object increases, the volume of the object increases. Weight is proportional to volume. Weight of the object increases but the strength of the object decreases. Strength of an object is proportional to the surface area.
Conclusion:
In scaling, as size of an object is increased, weight increases and object strengths decreases.
