Correct Answer

A

Explanation

If p = √rs³/t P²= rs³/tP² t= rs³ = P² t/ r To express r in terms of p, s, and t using the given equation p = √(rs³/t), we can manipulate the equation to isolate r.Start by squaring both sides of the equation to eliminate the square root:p² = (rs³/t)Next, multiply both sides of the equation by t to get rid of the denominator:p²t = rs³Now, divide both sides of the equation by s³ to isolate r:r = p²t/s³Therefore, r can be expressed in terms of p, s, and t as r = p²t/s³.
