Problema Solution

F varies jointly as M1 and M2 and inversely as the square of d.

A. Find the proportionality constant when F=20, M1=5, M2=10 and d=0.2

B. Find F when M1=10, M2=20, and d=0.4

Answer provided by our tutors

A. F = 20 = k(5)(10)/(0.2*0.2)

find k = 20*0.04/50 = 0.016

 

B. F = 0.016(10)(20)/(0.4^2) = 20
