In kick boxing, the force needed to break a board varies inversely with the length of the board.If it takes 5 pounds of pressure to break a board 2 feet long, how many pounds of pressure will it take to break a board that is 8feet long?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

By taking k as constant:

P = k/L (where P is pressure, and L is length)

5 = k/2

k = 10

Therefore:

P = 10 / L

P = 10/ 8

P = 1.25 Pounds.
