What equation can I use to find the value of L2?

[khazaymeh]

Hi there,
I have the following thread:

1) m2 < m1 and L2 < L1

2) abs(m2-m1)=abs(L2-L1)

the values of m2, m1 and L1 are known, what equation can I use to find the value of L2?

thank you

If m₂ < m₁, can you say anything about m₂ - m₁?

Similarly, if L₂ < L₁, what can you say about L₂ - L₁?

There's not some magic equation you use to find a solution - it's more about reasoning things out.
