**** query 2.5.8 / 2.7.8 (was 2.6.6). y inv with sqrt(x), y = 4 when x = 9.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

y= k/sqrt x

4 = k/sqrt9

4 = k/3

12=k

y=12/sqrtx

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

12:06:52

** The inverse proportionality to the square root gives us y = k / sqrt(x).

y = 4 when x = 9 gives us

4 = k / sqrt(9) or

4 = k / 3 so that

k = 4 * 3 = 12.

The equation is therefore

y = 12 / sqrt(x). **

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

ok

query 2.5.12 / 2.7.12 (was 2.6.10). z directly with sum of cube of x and square of y; z=1 and x=2 and y=3.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

z= (x^3 + y^2)k

1 = (8 + 9)k

1 = 17k

k = 1/17

z = 1/17(x^3 + y^2)

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

12:08:47

** The proportionality is

z = k (x^3 + y^2).

If x = 2, y = 3 and z = 1 we have

1 = k ( 2^3 + 3^2) or

17 k = 1 so that

k = 1/17.

The proportionality is therefore

z = (x^3 + y^2) / 17. **

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

ok

query 2.5.20 / 2.7.20 (was 2.6.20). Period varies directly with sqrt(length), const 2 pi / sqrt(32)

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

T = k(sqrt l)

T = (2pi/sqrt 32)(sqrtl)

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

12:10:55

** The equation is

T = k sqrt(L), with k = 2 pi / sqrt(32). So we have

T = 2 pi / sqrt(32) * sqrt(L). **

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

ok

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

12:11:25

**** What equation relates period and length? ****

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

p = k(L)

query 2.5.42 / 2.7.42 (was 2.7.34 (was 2.6.30). Resistance dir with lgth inversely with sq of diam. 432 ft, 4 mm diam has res 1.24 ohms. **** What is the length of a wire with resistance 1.44 ohms and diameter 3 mm? Give the details of your solution.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

r = k(L/d^2)

1.24 = k(432/4^2)

.046 = k

1.44 = .046(L/3^2)

12.96 = .046L

281.74= L
