- Math rearrangment!

OpenStudy (bmk614):

What is your question?

OpenStudy (asylum15):

1.) need to get change in pressure (delta p) 2.) need to get meu

OpenStudy (bmk614):

I don't know what you want me to do. You are given the equations.

OpenStudy (asylum15):

I need to rearrange first to isolate Delta P. I need to rearrange second to isolate Mu (under line)

OpenStudy (anthonyym):

Do you know cross-multiplication? You can cross multiply.

OpenStudy (asylum15):

Ok

OpenStudy (asylum15):

OpenStudy (anthonyym):

here check this out, and it also tells you where cross-multiplication comes from

OpenStudy (asylum15):

I tried above? Correct?

OpenStudy (anthonyym):

Yes that's correct. But you could have done it faster by multiplying by L2 in the 2nd step to save some writing

OpenStudy (asylum15):

Could you help with the Mu? Thanks so much :)

OpenStudy (anthonyym):

Yeah, do you know that \[\frac{ a }{ b }*\frac{ c }{ d }=\frac{ ac }{ bd }\]

OpenStudy (asylum15):

Yes

OpenStudy (anthonyym):

So you can combine the right side into one fraction. Then multiply by 8muL. Finally Q8L to get mu by itself.

OpenStudy (asylum15):

Mu = Pi . R^4 . DeltaP / 8LQ?

OpenStudy (anthonyym):

Yes that's correct

OpenStudy (asylum15):

Thanks Anthony :)
