Combining Proportionality Statements

[qswdefrg]

Homework Statement

Combine the proportionality statements for R and d and R and l to form one statement relating R, d, and l.

Homework Equations

I already know that R∝(1/d squared) and R∝l

The Attempt at a Solution

I thought it was R∝ (l/d squared), but that seems too easy lol.


Please help n_n

Hello qswdefrg,

Welcome to Physics Forums!

I already know that R∝(1/d squared) and R∝l

The Attempt at a Solution

I thought it was R∝ (l/d squared), but that seems too easy lol.

If by that you mean R ∝ l/(d²), then it certainly sounds reasonable to me.

So it turns out I was right after all! And I finished the assignment.

...

I just realized now that this wasn't a physics problem at all; just pure common sense ;___;
