Question:

The sports arena in Exercise 43 requires a horizontal beam 16 m long, 24 cm wide, and 8 cm high. The maximum load of such a horizontal beam that is supported at both ends varies directly as the width of the beam and the square of its height and inversely as the length between supports. If a beam of the same material 8 m long, 12 cm wide, and 15 cm high can support a maximum of 400 kg, what is the maximum load the beam in the arena will support?


Exercise 43

The roof of a new sports arena rests on round concrete pillars. The maximum load a cylindrical column of circular cross section can hold varies directly as the fourth power of the diameter and inversely as the square of the height. The arena has 9-m-tall columns that are 1 m in diameter and will support a load of 8 metric tons. How many metric tons will be supported by a column 12 m high and 2 3 m in diameter?CITY SPORTS ARENA GITY 9 m Load = 8 metric tons
