A variable W varies partly as M and Partly inversely as P. Which of the following correctly represents the relation with k\(_1\) and k\(_2\) constants?
- W = \(\frac{k_1M}{k_2P}\)
- W = (\(k_1 + k_2\))\(\frac{\text{M}}{\text{P}}\)
-
W = k\(_1\)M + \(\frac{k_2}{P}\)
- W = (k\(_1 + k_2\))M + P
The correct answer is: C
Explanation
W ∝ M and W ∝ \(\frac{1}{P}\)
If a variable W varies partly as M and partly inversely as P, the relationship can be expressed as:
W = k\(_1\)M + \(\frac{k_2}{P}\)
