Given:

u varies directly with the square of p and inversely with d.

To find:

The equation for the given situation.

Solution:

If y is directly proportional to x, then

[tex]y\propto x[/tex]

If y is inversely proportional to x, then

[tex]y\propto \dfrac{1}{x}[/tex]

It is given that u varies directly with the square of p and inversely with d. So,

[tex]u\propto \dfrac{p^2}{d}[/tex]

It can be written as:

[tex]u=k\dfrac{p^2}{d}[/tex]

Where, k is the constant of proportionality.

Therefore, the required equation is [tex]u=\dfrac{kp^2}{d}[/tex].
