Use Direct and Inverse Variation · Example 4

The maximum load a beam will support varies directly with the square of the diagonal of the beam’s cross-section. A beam with diagonal 4” will support a maximum load of 75 pounds.

ⓐ Write the equation that relates the maximum load to the cross-section.
ⓑ What is the maximum load that can be supported by a beam with diagonal 8”?
