Answer:
a = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Given F is proportional to a then the equation relating them is
F = ka ← k is the constant of proportion
To find k use the condition F = 36 when a = 9
36 = 9k ( divide both sides by 9 )
4 = k
F= 4a ← equation of proportion
When F = 32 , then
32 = 4a ( divide both sides by 4 )
8 = a
