Answer:

None.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can write a statement of proportionality without any additional information:

... weight = k × length . . . . . . . . for some constant k

If you need to know the specific weight of a specific length, then you need to know the constant of proportionality (the value of k).

The information we will need to know is the value of k which is constant of proportionality.  

  • We are told that the weight of the beam is proportional to its' length.

This means if we denote the weight as W and the length as L, then, we can write the proportion as;

W ∝ L

Getting rid of the proportion symbol, we have;

W = kL

Where; K is a constant of proportionality.

  • What this means is that for us to write an equation that represents the relationship between the beams weight and length, we will need to  know the value of k which is constant of proportionality.
