Homework Equations


V=rW

The Attempt at a Solution


I tried to plug in the formula , and algebras but I keep getting rc/rf as answer instead of rf/rc as the book says.
Work:
Vf=(rf)W
W=Vf/rf
W=Vc/rc

Vc/rc = Vf/rf
(Vc)(rf) = (Vf) (rc)
(Vc)(rf) / (Vf) (rc)= 1
Im not sure if this is the right track.
Thanks for any advice.
