Given

u varies directly with the square of p.

To write an equation that expresses the following relationship.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

u varies directly with the square of p.

That implies,


u\propto p^2

Then, for the constant of proportionality.


\begin{gathered} u=kp^2 \\ (u)/(p^2)^{}=k \end{gathered}

Hence, the equation is k=u/p^2.
