Question 908328: Nuclear experiments performed in the ocean vaporize large quantities of salt water. Salt boils and turns into vapor at 1738 K. After being vaporized by a 10-megaton force, the salt takes at least 8-10 seconds to cool enough to crystallize. The amount of salt A that has crystallized t seconds after an experiment is sometimes calculated using
A = k square root t/T
,
where k and T are constants. Solve this equation for t.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
A = k square root t/T
,
where k and T are constants. Solve this equation for t.
:
A = k%2Asqrt%28t%2FT%29
Square both sides and write it:
k%5E2%28t%2FT%29+=+A%5E2
multiply both sides by T
k%5E2%2At+=+A%5E2%2AT
Divide both sides by k^2
t = %28%28A%5E2%2AT%29%29%2Fk%5E2
