You originally draw a design for an art contest on a 2 inch by 5 inch card. The second phrase of the contest requires the drawin

g to be transferred to an 8.5 inch by 11 inch standard sheet of paper and utilize as much of the space on the paper as possible. You determine the largest size one of the dimensions of your drawing can be is 10.5 inches. What is the length of the other dimension if two drawings are similar?

4.2.
If the 2 inch side was scaled to 10.5 inches the 5 inch side would be scaled by 10.5/2 = 5.25, so would be 25.125 inches which is too big.

So the 10.5 inches is the 5 inch side on the original, and so it 10.5/5 = 2.1 times bigger.

Therefore the smaller side would be 2*2.1/= 4.2 inches.

Sedbober [7]
<h2>Explanation:</h2>

In physics, work is defined force that causes displacement. So this can be expressed by the following equation:

W=Fs

Where:

F:Force \\ \\ s:Displacement

The force can be found as:

F=ma \\ \\ F=5(10)=50N

And for the displacement:

s=6-2=4m

The force (weight) is down and the displacement is up, then the work must be negative. So:

W=-(50)(4) \\ \\ \boxed{W=-200J}
