The bending of a bean varies directly as its mas. A beam is bent 20mm by a mass 0f 40kg. how much will the beam bend with a mass of 100kg?

The beam will bend by 50 mm with a mass of 100kg?

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step in solving the problem of direct variation is setting up the relation mathematically.

We can do this as follows:

The bending of the beam varies directly as its mass.

here is the symbol representing direct variation. To remove this and replace it with an equality sign, we have to introduce a constant of proportionality, k

k = 20 /40 = 0.5

We can now use this to find the distance the beam will bend with a mass of 100kg?

This will be

There fore, the beam will bend by 50 mm with a mass of 100kg?
