Solve using proportionalities by stating the appropriate proportionality law and
finding the proportionality constant:
- If a small whale 3.8 meters long has a mass of 408.24 kg, then what should be the mass of a
geometrically similar whale 8.2 meters long?
- If the first whale is losing thermal energy at the rate of 518.4 watts, then under
identical conditions at what rate would we expect the second whale to be losing energy?
