Question 1 Report

If w varies inversely as \( \frac{ur}{u+r} \) and is equal to 8 when u = 2 and r = 6, find a relationship between u, v, w.

Answer Details
W  α   1 u v u + v
∴ w =  k u v u + v
=  k ( u + v ) u v
w =  k ( u + v ) u v
w = 8, u = 2 and v = 6
8 =  k ( 2 + 6 ) 2 ( 6 )
=  k ( 8 ) 12
k = 12
