Hi good people!,

 

kindly just check if I did this correctly?

 

Make r the subject:

 

F=KQ1Q2r2

 

I did this:

 

devide by K:

 

FK=Q1Q2 r2

 

Multiply by r^2

 

Fr2K=Q1Q2

 

Multiply by K

 

Fr2=K(Q1Q2)

 

Devide by F

 

r2=K(Q1Q2)F

 

r=K(Q1Q2F

 

Thanx for the time!

Your method is correct, but you can do it without dividing by K and then multiplying by K :

 

F=KQ1Q2r2 F=K(Q1Q2)r2

                                  Multiply both sides of the equation by  r2

Fr2=K(Q1Q2)

                                  Divide both sides of the equation by  F .

r2=K(Q1Q2)F

 

If we need to include both solutions for  r  ,  then we need to take the positive and negative square root of both sides.

 

r=±K(Q1Q2)F
