The horsepower produced by a steam engine varies directly as the number of revolutions per minute of its operation. if 1200 horsepower was produced when a machine was operated at 150 revolutions per minute, find the number of horsepower it will produce when it will operate at 170 revolutions per minute
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "h = kr
\n" ); document.write( "--
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"k\":
\n" ); document.write( "1200 = k*150
\n" ); document.write( "k = 1200/150 = 8
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Equation for this problem:
\n" ); document.write( "h = 8r
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "find the number of horsepower it will produce when it will operate at 170 revolutions per minute
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "h = 8*170 = 1360 horsepower
