P'is said to be subject of the formula © T= anf is a formula for the period of a pendulum in terms of its length | and the accel- eration due to gravity g. Tis said to be the subject of the formula. “Changing the subject of the formula’ or ‘transpos- ing the formula’ refers to the process whereby the formula is rearranged so that another given symbol becomes the subject. In the transposition of formulae, all the rules are obeyed as in the solution of equations, However, we now have more than one symbol to deal with. It should be noted that when a symbol is the subject of a particular formula: () itis usually on the left-hand side (LLH.S.) of the formula vee Ace cam il in the numerator (iii) its power is 1 (iv) its coefficient is 1. SYMBOLS CONNECTED BY A PLUS SIGN i i la, it When a symbol is added to one side of a formula, can be transferred to the other side of the formula by subtracting it from both sides of the formula. Alternatively, the symbol can be transferred to the other side of the formula by changing its original Positive sign to a negative sign. Example $ Transpose u+t foru. Solution Given veute Subtracting t from both sides of the formula, we get vrt=utiat ie. wep ly Rewriting the formula, we get uawot Hence w is now the subject of the formula, Alternative Method Given veute Transferring t to the LHS. of the formula, we get vot Rewriting the formula, we get waver Hence u is now the subject of the formula. SYMBOLS CONNECTED BY A MINUS SIGN When a symbol is subtracted from one side of a for- ‘mula, it can be transferred to the other side of the formula by adding it to both sides of the formula, Altematively, the symbol can be transferred to the other side of the formula by changing its original negative sign to a positive sign. Chop 3 Alea 2 vo Solution Given vua—t. ‘Adding tto both sides of the formula, we get vetsu-tte ie vtrsu Rewriting the formula, we get waver Hence u is now the subject of the formula, Alternative Method Given sunt Transferring ¢ to the L.HS. of the formula, visu Rewriting the formula, we get u=vtr Hence u is now the subject of the formula. we get SYMBOLS CONNECTED AS A PRODUCT When a symbol is connected to one side of a formula as a product, it can be transferred to the other side of the formula by dividing both sides of the formula by it. Alternatively, the symbol can be transferred to the other side of the formula by cross-multiplying Example Z Transpose mw for. | Y Solution Given ven Dividing both sides of the formula by w, we get mw w » w 5 v ie. 2 w Rewriting the formula, we get v Hence r is now the subject ofthe formula. Alternative Method Given var ‘Transferring w to the L.HLS. of the formula, we get y Rewriting the formula, we get v pow Hence r is now the subject of the formula, Example fs Transpose p= hpg for g. vo Solution Given p= hog Dividing both sides of the formula by hp, we get P= hea php Pea ie.

Alternative Method Given p= hog ‘Transferring hp to the L.H.S. of the equation, we get P= ip * Rewriting the formula, we get 2 ith Hence g is now the subject of the formula. SYMBOLS CONNECTED AS A QUOTIENT When a symbol is connected to one side of a for- ‘mula a the divisor in a quotient, it can be transferred to the other side of the formula by multiplying both sides of the formula by it. Alternatively, the symbol can be transferred to the other side of the formula by cross-multiplying. Example G — Transpose I ¥ for. , Wisoaie Solution Given -% ‘Multiplying both sides of the formula by R, we get v xR=Uxr IXR= 2 ice IR=V Rewriting the formula, we get VIR Hence Vis now the subject of the formula, Alternative Method i au Given -< ‘Transferring R to the L.H.S. of the equation, we get IR=V Rewriting the formula, we get V=IR Hence Vis now the subject of the formula: Example 10 Transpose ti oe forv.

FORMULAE REQUIRING THE REMOVAL OF POWERS When changing the subject of a formula requir- ing the removal of a square, it should be noted that taking the square root of a square removes the square. Thus, i od Ax? = (x2)? 2x9 =x Similarly, when changing the subject of a formula requiring the removal of a cube, it should be noted that taking the cube root of a cube removes the cube.
