A rappelling rope used for outdoor programs, rescue and industrial work, can safely support a weight "W" (in pounds) provided, where "d" is the rope's diameter (in inches). Determine the diameter of rope that would be needed to support a weight of at least 5,500 pounds.

Respuesta :

Answer:

D =  ( d * 5500 ) / W

Step-by-step explanation:

Diameter of rope " d "  supports "w" weight

i.e.  d = W

d ( inches ) = W ( pounds )

   ? ( inches ) = 5500 pounds

The Unknown diameter  D ( ? ) = d * 5500 / W
