Make A the subject of the formula.

OpenStudy (asylum15):

\[q=\sqrt{2ghDA ^{2}} over (s ^{2}-A ^{2})\]

OpenStudy (asylum15):

Not sure how to put it all under the same square root, 2ghDA^2 is over (s^2-A^2) under the same root

OpenStudy (amorfide):

nevermind i can not help, i tried sorry

OpenStudy (asylum15):

no problem :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[q=\frac{\sqrt{2ghDA ^{2}}}{ (s ^{2}-A ^{2})}\] like this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh no hold on

OpenStudy (asylum15):

The root above, also goes over the denom.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[q=\sqrt{\frac{2ghDA^2}{s^2-A^2}}\] maybe this

OpenStudy (asylum15):

Yeah, thats the ticket, except there are brackets around (s^2-A^2) :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[q^2=\frac{2ghDA^2}{s^2-A^2}\] is a start

OpenStudy (anonymous):

brackets are not needed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then \[q^2(s^2-A^2)=2ghDA^2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiply out on the left, get \[q^2s^2-q^2A^2=2ghDA^2\] put all the stuff with A on the right get \[q^2s^2=2ghDA^2-q^2A^2\] factor out the \(A^2\) get \[q^2s^2=A^2(2ghD-q^2)\] divide get \[\frac{q^2s^2}{(2ghD-q^2)}=A^2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

damn damn damn i made a mistake

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[q^2s^2=2ghDA^2+q^2A^2\] \[q^2s^2=A^2(2ghD+q^2)\] \[\frac{q^2s^2}{(2ghD+q^2)}=A^2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's better. now take the square root

OpenStudy (anonymous):

don't forget the \(\pm\)

OpenStudy (asylum15):

Your a genius, do you teach math?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[A=\pm\frac{qs}{\sqrt{2ghD+q^2}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am not a genius, one day this will seem simple to you, take my word for it

OpenStudy (asylum15):

I'm studying biomedical engineering, this is our math module.
