Question 547048: the illumination produced by a light source depends on the distance from the source. For a particular light source, this relationship can be expressed as i=(4050)/(d^2), where i is the amount of illumination in footcandles and d is the distance from the light (in feet). How far from the source is the illumination equal to 50 footcandles? Answer by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! he illumination produced by a light source depends on the distance from the source.
For a particular light source, this relationship can be expressed as i=(4050)/(d^2), where
i is the amount of illumination in footcandles and
d is the distance from the light (in feet).
How far from the source is the illumination equal to 50 footcandles?
:
50 =
multiply both sides by d^2
50d^2 = 4050
divide both sides by 50
d^2 =
d^2 = 81
d =
d = 9 ft
