...given weight, another beam of the same depth and double the breadth will support double the weight. But if a beam two inches deep and one inch broad support a given weight, another of four inches deep and one inch broad will support four times the weight. Hence, beams of equal breadths... | |

...STRENGTH OF MATERIALS. If a beam 2 inches deep and 1 inch broad will support a given weight, anotherbeam of the same depth and double the breadth will support double the weight. Hence beams of the same depth are to each other as their breadths. Example. If a beam 4 feet long, 2 inches... | |

TRANSVERSE STRENGTH OF BEAMS, BARS, &c. If a beam be supported at both ends, and loaded in the middle, it will bend (which is called deflection) ; and if the load be increased, it will break (which is called fracture). — If a beam two inches deep and...
