The weight, w, that a horizontal beam can support varies inversely as the
length, l, of the beam. a beam measuring 5 meters in length can support
430 kilograms. how much weight can a beam measuring 2 meters
support?

A beam measuring 2 meters can support 172 kilograms

How to determine the weight?

The variation is a direct variation.

So, we have:

w = kl

Where k is the constant of variation.

When l = 5, w = 430.

This means that:

430 = 5k

Divide both sides by 5

k = 86

So, we have:

w = 86l

When l = 2, we have:

w = 86 * 2

Evaluate

w = 172

Hence, a beam measuring 2 meters can support 172 kilograms
