1. **Problem 8:** Given that $R$ varies directly as the square of $S$ and inversely as $T$, with $R=21$ when $S=6$ and $T=3$. Find $T$ when $R=18$ and $S=4$.
2. **Formula:** Since $R$ varies directly as $S^2$ and inversely as $T$, we write:
$$R = k \frac{S^2}{T}$$
where $k$ is the constant of proportionality.
3. **Find $k$ using given values:**
$$21 = k \frac{6^2}{3} = k \frac{36}{3} = 12k$$
So,
$$k = \frac{21}{12} = \frac{7}{4}$$
4. **Find $T$ when $R=18$ and $S=4$:**
$$18 = \frac{7}{4} \frac{4^2}{T} = \frac{7}{4} \frac{16}{T} = \frac{28}{T}$$
Multiply both sides by $T$:
$$18T = 28$$
Divide both sides by 18:
$$T = \frac{28}{18} = \frac{14}{9}$$

5. **Problem 9:** $m$ varies inversely as the cube root of $n$. Given $m=7$ when $n=27$. Find the relation between $m$ and $n$.
6. **Formula:**
$$m = \frac{k}{\sqrt[3]{n}}$$
7. **Find $k$:**
$$7 = \frac{k}{\sqrt[3]{27}} = \frac{k}{3}$$
So,
$$k = 7 \times 3 = 21$$
8. **Relation:**
$$m = \frac{21}{\sqrt[3]{n}}$$

9. **Problem 10:** $p$ varies directly as $q$ and inversely as the square of $r$. Given $p=10$ when $q=5$ and $r=2$, and $p=15$ when $q=m$ and $r=4$. Find $m$.
10. **Formula:**
$$p = k \frac{q}{r^2}$$
11. **Find $k$:**
$$10 = k \frac{5}{2^2} = k \frac{5}{4}$$
So,
$$k = \frac{10 \times 4}{5} = 8$$
12. **Find $m$ when $p=15$ and $r=4$:**
$$15 = 8 \frac{m}{4^2} = 8 \frac{m}{16} = \frac{8m}{16} = \frac{m}{2}$$
Multiply both sides by 2:
$$m = 30$$

13. **Problem 11:** Distance $J$ varies directly as the square of time $t$. Given $J=84$ when $t=6$. Find $J$ when $t=9$.
14. **Formula:**
$$J = k t^2$$
15. **Find $k$:**
$$84 = k \times 6^2 = 36k$$
So,
$$k = \frac{84}{36} = \frac{7}{3}$$
16. **Find $J$ when $t=9$:**
$$J = \frac{7}{3} \times 9^2 = \frac{7}{3} \times 81 = 7 \times 27 = 189$$

17. **Problem 12:** Resistance $R$ varies inversely as the square of radius $j$. Given $R=0.6$ when $j=0.05$. Find $j$ when $R=0.15$.
18. **Formula:**
$$R = \frac{k}{j^2}$$
19. **Find $k$:**
$$0.6 = \frac{k}{(0.05)^2} = \frac{k}{0.0025}$$
So,
$$k = 0.6 \times 0.0025 = 0.0015$$
20. **Find $j$ when $R=0.15$:**
$$0.15 = \frac{0.0015}{j^2}$$
Multiply both sides by $j^2$:
$$0.15 j^2 = 0.0015$$
Divide both sides by 0.15:
$$j^2 = \frac{0.0015}{0.15} = 0.01$$
Take square root:
$$j = \sqrt{0.01} = 0.1$$

21. **Problem 13:** Water level $h$ varies inversely as time $t$. Given $h=1260$ cm at $t=40$ minutes. Find $h$ at $t=80$ minutes (1 1/3 hours = 80 minutes).
22. **Formula:**
$$h = \frac{k}{t}$$
23. **Find $k$:**
$$1260 = \frac{k}{40}$$
So,
$$k = 1260 \times 40 = 50400$$
24. **Find $h$ at $t=80$:**
$$h = \frac{50400}{80} = 630$$
---
25. **Problem 14:** Height $H$ varies directly as volume $V$ and inversely as square of radius $r$. Given $H=14$ cm when $V=2156$ cm³ and $r=7$ cm. Find $r$ when $H=35$ cm and $V=15840$ cm³.
26. **Formula:**
$$H = k \frac{V}{r^2}$$
27. **Find $k$:**
$$14 = k \frac{2156}{7^2} = k \frac{2156}{49}$$
So,
$$k = \frac{14 \times 49}{2156} = \frac{686}{2156} = \frac{7}{22}$$
28. **Find $r$ when $H=35$ and $V=15840$:**
$$35 = \frac{7}{22} \frac{15840}{r^2} = \frac{7 \times 15840}{22 r^2} = \frac{110880}{22 r^2} = \frac{5040}{r^2}$$
Multiply both sides by $r^2$:
$$35 r^2 = 5040$$
Divide both sides by 35:
$$r^2 = \frac{5040}{35} = 144$$
Take square root:
$$r = 12$$

29. **Problem 15:** Time $t$ varies inversely as number of workers $y$. Given $t=2.25$ hours when $y=4$. Find $t$ when $y=6$.
30. **Formula:**
$$t = \frac{k}{y}$$
31. **Find $k$:**
$$2.25 = \frac{k}{4}$$
So,
$$k = 2.25 \times 4 = 9$$
32. **Find $t$ when $y=6$:**
$$t = \frac{9}{6} = 1.5$$
