Algebra.Com's Answer #18828 by venugopalramana(3286)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The intensity of light X, measured in foot-candles, varies inversely as the square of the distance from the light d. If X=4/5 foot-candles when the distance is 20 feet. Find the constant of varieation and then find the intensity when the distance is 16 feet. \n" ); document.write( "K=___________________ \n" ); document.write( "The intensity of light X, measured in foot-candles, varies inversely as the square of the distance from the light d. HENCE... \n" ); document.write( "INTENSITY = X =K/D^2...WHERE K IS A CONSTNT AND D IS THE DISTANCE FROM LIGHT SOURCE. \n" ); document.write( "If X=4/5 foot-candles when the distance is 20 feet. \n" ); document.write( "4/5=K/20*20...K=20*20*4/5=320 \n" ); document.write( "Find the constant of varieation \n" ); document.write( "K=320 \n" ); document.write( " and then find the intensity when the distance is 16 feet. \n" ); document.write( "X=320/16*16=5/4 FOOT CANDLES. \n" ); document.write( " |
