? It is simply using the definition of "proportional".
 
This is not my problem

My Problem and question why I we use the inverse square proportional .
 
From Eq 22, A is unitless.

From Eq 36, C/A must have units of 1/vx so that A on the LHS is unitless.

So if C/A is proportional to vx, the constant of proportionality is chosen to have units of 1/v2. The constant of proportionality is written as 1/V2 to make this clear.
 
Thank you.

I understanded it now.
 
Thread 'Can this experiment break Lorentz symmetry?'
1. The Big Idea: According to Einstein’s relativity, all motion is relative. You can’t tell if you’re moving at a constant velocity without looking outside. But what if there is a universal “rest frame” (like the old idea of the “ether”)? This experiment tries to find out by looking for tiny, directional differences in how objects move inside a sealed box. 2. How It Works: The Two-Stage Process Imagine a perfectly isolated spacecraft (our lab) moving through space at some unknown speed V...

Does the speed of light change in a gravitational field depending on whether the direction of travel is parallel to the field, or perpendicular to the field? And is it the same in both directions at each orientation? This question could be answered experimentally to some degree of accuracy. Experiment design: Place two identical clocks A and B on the circumference of a wheel at opposite ends of the diameter of length L. The wheel is positioned upright, i.e., perpendicular to the ground...
