Question

How would you solve this type of problem?

Answer 1

Answer:

$M=-\frac{d^2F}{kn}$

Please look at what I assumed your equation was:  $F=-\frac{kMn}{d^2}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to pretend that says:

$F=-\frac{kMn}{d^2}$.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

We want to solve for M.

The very first thing I'm going to do is multiply both sides by $d^2$.

$d^2F=-kMn$

Now I'm going to divide both sides by -kn:

$\frac{d^2F}{-kn}=\frac{-kMn}{-kn}$

Simplifying:

$\frac{d^2F}{-kn}=M$

Sometimes people don't like the negative on bottom; just move it to the center:

$-\frac{d^2F}{kn}=M$

$M=-\frac{d^2F}{kn}$
