   to solve for d_2:
   [tex]\frac{336}{81}=\frac{175}{100}*\frac{1}{[\frac{d_2}{0.1}]^3}[/tex]
   [tex]\sim 2.4=\frac{1}{[\frac{d_2}{0.1}]^3}[/tex]
   
   then i dont know wat to do i know its simple algebra, i just dont see it,.

   If [tex]a = \frac{1}{b^3}[/tex]
   Then [tex]b^3 = \frac{1}{a}[/tex]
   
   Use this idea and keep going.

   thnx 4 all the help doc,
   i get
   [tex]d_2=0.041^{\frac{1}{3}}[/tex]

   That doesn't seem right. Consider the following:
   [tex][\frac{d_2}{0.1}]^3 = \frac{d_2^3}{0.001}[/tex]

   o i see wat i did, so [tex]d_2=[4.1*10^{-4}]^\frac{1}{3}[/tex]?

   Even better if you don't convert your constants to a decimal so soon.
   Keep them as fractions and you should find you can easily take their cube root later.
