Question

F is directly proportional to a . If F = 28 when a = 7 find, a when F = 40

asap

Answer 1

a=10

Explanation:

The question can be interpreted as

F∝a

If we introduce proportionality constant k, we have

F= k.a

28= k. 7

k= 28/7

k= 4

Then the equation can be written as

F= 4.a

To find, a when F = 40?

F= 4.a

40=4 × a

a= 40/4

a= 10
