The maximum load m of a beam varies directly as the breadth b and the square of the depth d and

inversely as the length l. If a beam 3.6 m long, 1.2 wide, and 2.4 deep can safely bare a load up to
909 kg, find the maximum safe load for a beam of the same material which is 3 m long, 6 m wide
and 1.8 m deep.
