Question

Describe the steps you would take to solve the given literal equation for m as shown.

Answer 1

T = 2$\pi$ $\sqrt{m/k}$

1. Divide both sides by 2$\pi$
--> t / 2$\pi$ = $\sqrt{m/k}$

2. Square both sides
--> $t^{2}$ / 4$\pi^{2}$ = m / k

3. Multiply both sides by k
--> m = k$t^{2}$ / 4$\pi ^{2}$

Answer 2

Divide both sides of the equation by 2pi.

Square both sides of the equation.

Use the rule to simplify a fraction to a power.

Multiply both sides of the equation by k.
