- The resistance of a copper wire carrying an electrical current is directly proportional to its length and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area. A copper wire with a diameter of 0.0126inch has a resistance of 64.9ohms per thousand feet. What length of 0.0201-inch-diameter copper wire will produce a resistance of 33.5ohms?arrow_forwardIf y varies inversely with x and y=11 when x=3 find the equation that relates x and y.arrow_forwardFind the intensity of light at a depth of 12 meter if I0=14 and k=0.7. Round to two decimals.arrow_forward
- Neglecting air resistance, the distance s an object falls varies directly as the square of the duration t of the fall. An object falls a distance of 144 feet in 3 seconds. How far does it fall in 6 seconds?arrow_forwardWrite an inverse variation equation to solve the following problems. 489. The time required to empty a tank varies inversely as the rate of pumping. It took Janet 5 hours to pump her flooded basement using a pump that was rated at 200 gpm (gallons per minute), a. Write the equation that relates the number of hours to the pump rate. b. How long would it take Janet to pump her basement if she used a pump rated at 400 gpm?arrow_forwardElectrical resistance The resistance of a wire varies directly as the length of the wire and inversely as the square of its diameter. A 1000-foot length of wire, 0.05 inch in diameter, has a resistance of 200 ohms. What would be the resistance of a 1500-foot length of wire that is 0.08 inch in diameter.arrow_forward
