Answer:
1.778 times more or 16/9 times more
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
- Mirror 1: D_1 = 8''
- Mirror 2: D_2 = 6"
Find:
Compare the light gathering power of an 8" primary mirror with a 6" primary mirror. The 8" mirror has how much light gathering power?
Solution:
- The light gathering power of a mirror (LGP) is proportional to the Area of the objects:
LGP ∝ A
- Whereas, Area is proportional to the squared of the diameter i.e an area of a circle:
A ∝ D^2
- Hence, LGP ∝ D^2
- Now compare the two diameters given:
LGP_1 ∝ (D_1)^2
LGP ∝ (D_2)^2
- Take a ratio of both:
LGP_1/LGP_2 ∝ (D_1)^2 / (D_2)^2
- Plug in the values:
LGP_1/LGP_2 ∝ (8)^2 / (6)^2
- Compute: LGP_1/LGP_2 ∝ 16/9 ≅ 1.778 times more
Answer:
126 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
If your drawing is on a 1 : 40 scale, to find the scale's height, divide the ride's height by 40.
420 / 40 = 10.5
So the drawing will be 10.5 feet tall.
To convert 10.5 feet to inches, multiply it by 12.
10.5 * 12 = 126 inches
Answer:
See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Maximum weight = 20 kg
Bag 1 = 3.5kg
Bag 2 = 15 kg
Bag 3 = 2kg
Bag 4 = 1.5kg
Total weight of bags = 22 kg
Excess weight of his luggage = Total weight of bags - Maximum weight
= 22 kg - 20 kg
= 2 kg
Express the excess weight as a percentage of his maximum weight allowed = excess weight / maximum weight × 100
= 2/20 × 100
= 0.1 × 100
= 10%
Express the excess weight as a percentage of his maximum weight allowed = 10%
