A concrete dries, it shrinks-----the higher the water content, the greater the shrinkage. If a concrete beam has a water content of
, then it will shrink by a factor

Where
is the fraction of the original beam length that disappears due to shrinkage.
A beam is 10.014 m long when wet. We want it to shrink to 10.009 m, so the shrinkage factor should be
. What water content will provide this amount of shrinkage?
