Question

P varies directly with T and p=10 when T=500. When T=509, find T

Answer 1

Answer:

Let,

P= kT

P = 10, when T = 500

So, 10=k500

or, k=10/500

or, k=1/50

When T=509

P=kT

or, P=(1/50)×509

or, P=508/50

or, P = 10.18

And when P = 509 (since the question isn't clear)

509=(1/50)×T

or, T=509×50

or, T=25450
