1. The problem statement.


a = 1/(1+C) g sine pheta


Rearrange equation to solve for g.


My attempt of the solution is:


g = (a+c)/sine pheta

What confuses me is whether or not g sine pheta are all clumped together or if it's just g x sine pheta. Thanks!

Well gsinθ = g*sinθ

although I can't tell if your question is


[tex]a = \frac{1}{(1+C)g sin \theta} \ or \ a=\frac{1}{1+C}* gsin \theta[/tex]
 
Ah, ok, thanks. It's the second one.
if so, then:


einsteinette said:
g = (a+c)/sine pheta

that's not correct,

[tex] \ a=\frac{1}{1+C}* gsin \theta[/tex]

[tex]\ a{(1+C)}=gsin \theta[/tex]
[tex]\ {(a+aC)}= gsin \theta[/tex]
then
[tex]\ g=\frac{a+aC}{sin \theta}[/tex]
