Answer

a) $L=\dfrac{k}{d^2}$ b) $ k=7000$dB/ft c) $\dfrac{L}{4}$ d) $4L$

Work Step by Step

a) As per the given problem, we have: $L=\dfrac{k}{d^2}$ Here, $k$ is defined as constant of proportionality b) From part (a), we have $L=\dfrac{k}{d^2}$ Plug the given values in the above expression, we get $70=\dfrac{k}{(10)^2}\implies k=7000$dB/ft c) From part (a), we have $L=\dfrac{k}{d^2}$ Then, $L_n=\dfrac{k}{(2d)^2}=\dfrac{L}{4}$ d) From part (a), we have $L=\dfrac{k}{d^2}$ Then, $ L_n=\dfrac{k}{(d/2)^2}=4L$
