1. **Problem:** P varies directly as the square of Q and inversely as the cube of Z. Given P=5, Q=3, Z=1, find:
(i) The relationship between P, Q, and Z.
(ii) Z when P=3 and Q=5.
**Step 1:** Write the variation formula:
$$P = k \frac{Q^2}{Z^3}$$
where $k$ is the constant of proportionality.
**Step 2:** Use given values to find $k$:
$$5 = k \frac{3^2}{1^3} = k \times 9 \Rightarrow k = \frac{5}{9}$$
**Step 3:** Write the relationship:
$$P = \frac{5}{9} \frac{Q^2}{Z^3}$$
**Step 4:** Find $Z$ when $P=3$ and $Q=5$:
$$3 = \frac{5}{9} \frac{5^2}{Z^3} = \frac{5}{9} \frac{25}{Z^3} = \frac{125}{9 Z^3}$$
Multiply both sides by $9 Z^3$:
$$27 Z^3 = 125$$
Divide both sides by 27:
$$Z^3 = \frac{125}{27}$$
Take cube root:
$$Z = \sqrt[3]{\frac{125}{27}} = \frac{5}{3}$$
**Final answers:**
(i) $P = \frac{5}{9} \frac{Q^2}{Z^3}$
(ii) $Z = \frac{5}{3}$
