T varies inversely as the cube of R. When R = 3, T = \(\frac{2}{81}\), find T when R = 2

A.

\(\frac{1}{18}\)

B.

\(\frac{1}{12}\)

C.

\(\frac{1}{24}\)

D.

\(\frac{1}{6}\)

Correct answer is B

T \(\alpha \frac{1}{R^3}\)

T = \(\frac{k}{R^3}\)

k = TR3

= \(\frac{2}{81}\) x 33

= \(\frac{2}{81}\) x 27

dividing 81 by 27

k = \(\frac{2}{2}\)

therefore, T = \(\frac{2}{3}\) x \(\frac{1}{R^3}\)

When R = 2

T = \(\frac{2}{3}\) x \(\frac{1}{2^3}\) = \(\frac{2}{3}\) x \(\frac{1}{8}\)

= \(\frac{1}{12}\)
