Answer 1

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that M is directly proportional to r³ then the equation relating them is

M = kr³  ← k is the constant of proportion

To find k use the condition when r = 4, M = 160, thus

160 = k × 4³ = 64k ( divide both sides by 64 )

2.5 = k

M = 2.5r³ ← equation of variation

(a)

When r = 2, then

M = 2.5 × 2³ = 2.5 × 8 = 20

(b)

When M = 540, then

540 = 2.5r³ ( divide both sides by 2.5 )_

216 = r³ ( take the cube root of both sides )

r = $\sqrt[3]{216}$ = 6
