The repulsive force f between the north poles of two magnets is inversely proportional to the square of the distance d between them.
If the repulsive force is 21 lb when the distance is 15 in., find the repulsive force when the distance is 5 in.
:
f =
find k, f=21; d=15
= 21
k = 21*225
k = 4725
Find f when d=5
f =
f = 189 lb
