Homework Statement
I'm told that someone goes for a walk on some cliffs and given data for the total time of the trip and the distance traveled and the maximum height difference during the walk.
I'm asked to find a function for T(d,h) i.e. time taken as a function of distance and max height.
Data points:
Distance points (feet): 52800, 58080, 73920
Height points (corresponding to the above three - also in feet): 1500, 1300, 1000
Time points: (hours - again, corresponding): 5.4, 7.9, 6.7
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I first assumed a simple proportionality like T = k dh and tried to find k but that didnt work..
what kind of proportionality should i be expecting?
Thanks
