A building requires a beam 52 meters long, .28 meter wide, and .11 meter high. The maximum load of a horizontal beam that is supported at both ends varies directly as the width and the square of the height and inversely as the length between supports. If a beam of the same material 46 meters long, .30 meter wide, and .08 meter high can support a maximum load of 49.46 kilograms, what is the maximum load the beam in the building will support?
