Hi

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

P = mgh Divide both sides bg mg, what do you get?

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

\(\sf\Large\frac{P}{mg} = \frac{mgh}{mg}\) Can you simplify that more? :)

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

we have mg in the numerator and denominator, can we do simplify that?

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

remember : \(\sf\Large\frac{abcde}{abcde} = 1\) \(\sf\Large \frac{1234}{1234} = 1\) \(\sf\Large \frac{mgh}{mg} = ?\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so h/?

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Correct! :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would the answer be\ h = p over mg?

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

\(\sf\Large\frac{P}{mg} = \frac{mgh}{mg}\) This can then be simplified down to: \(\sf\Large h =\frac{P}{mg}\)

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Correct! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

awesome, thanks.

:D

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Good job! :)
