In medicine, there are several rules of thumb used by physicians to determine a child’s dose, D c , of a particular drug. One such rule, Young’s Rule, relates a child’s dose of a drug to an adult’s dose of that drug, D a . Young’s Rule is
D c = t t + 12 · D a
where t is the child’s age in years. What dose should be given to a child 8 years old if the corresponding adult dosage is 15 units?

A relationship exists between the length of a cantilever beam and the amount it is deflected when a weight is attached to its end. If a cantilever beam 20 feet long has a 600 pound weight attached to its end, the equation relating beam length and amount of deflection is
d = 60 x 2 x 3 16 , 000
where d is the amount of deflection measured in inches and x is the length from the supported part of the beam to some point on the beam at which the amount of deflection is measured. Find the amount of deflection of the beam 17 feet from the supported end.

Deflection of a twenty feet long cantilever beam. A weight of six hundred pound is attached to its end. The amount of deflection of the beam is labeled as d. The length between the supported part of the beam, and a point on the beam at which the amount of deflection is being measured, is labeled as x.

There is a relationship between the length of a suspension bridge cable that is secured between two vertical supports and the amount of sag of the cable. If we represent the length of the cable by c , the horizontal distance between the vertical supports by d , and the amount of sag by s , the equation is c = d + 8 s 2 3 d 32 s 4 5 d 3 . If the horizontal distance between the two vertical supports is 190 feet and the amount of sag in a cable that is suspended between the two supports is 20 feet, what is the length of the cable?

A suspension bridge with its suspesion cables secured between two vertical supports. The horizontal distance between the vertical supports is labeled as d. The amount of sag of the cable is labeled as s.
