Answer

a) $P=kAv^3$ b) $4P$ c) $\dfrac{3P}{8}$

Work Step by Step

a) As per the given problem, we have: $P=kAv^3$ Here, $k$ is defined as constant of proportionality b) From part (a), we have $P=kAv^3$ Plug the given values in the above expression, we get $P_n=k(\dfrac{A}{2})(2v)^3=4P$ c) From part (a), we have $P=kAv^3$ Then, $P_n=k(3A)(\dfrac{v}{2})^3=\dfrac{3P}{8}$
