Please critique whether the following solution to the question is correct.

Question:
The pressure P exerted by wind on a sail varies jointly as the area A of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity V. When the velocity is 8 miles per hour, the pressure on a sail of 2 square feet is 4 pounds. Find the wind velocity when the pressure on 4 square feet of sail is 32 pounds.

Please, reason step by step and put your final answer within \boxed{}.

Solution:
To solve this problem, we start by expressing the pressure \( P \) exerted by wind on a sail in terms of the area \( A \) of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity \( V \). The pressure \( P \) is given by:

\[ P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \]

where \( k \) is a constant. We are given that when the velocity \( V \) is 8 miles per hour, the pressure \( P \) on a sail of 2 square feet is 4 pounds. We can use this information to find the value of \( k \). Substituting \( V = 8 \) and \( A = 2 \) into the equation, we get:

\[ 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 8^3 \]

First, we calculate \( 8^3 \):

\[ 8^3 = 512 \]

So the equation becomes:

\[ 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 512 \]

Simplifying the right side of the equation:

\[ 4 = 1024k \]

Solving for \( k \):

\[ k = \frac{4}{1024} = \frac{1}{256} \]

Now we need to find the wind velocity \( V \) when the pressure \( P \) on a sail of 4 square feet is 32 pounds. Using the pressure formula \( P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \) and substituting \( P = 32 \) and \( A = 4 \) into the equation, we get:

\[ 32 = \frac{1}{256} \cdot 4 \cdot V^3 \]

Simplifying the right side of the equation:

\[ 32 = \frac{4V^3}{256} = \frac{V^3}{64} \]

To solve for \( V \), we multiply both sides by 64:

\[ 32 \cdot 64 = V^3 \]

\[ 2048 = V^3 \]

Taking the cube root of both sides, we get:

\[ V = \sqrt[3]{2048} \]

Since \( 2048 = 16 \cdot 128 = 16 \cdot 2^7 \), we have:

\[ V = \sqrt[3]{16 \cdot 2^7} = 4 \cdot 2^{7/3} = 4 \cdot 2^{2 + 1/3} = 4 \cdot 2^2 \cdot 2^{1/3} = 8 \cdot 2^{1/3} \]

Using a calculator to find \( 2^{1/3} \approx 1.26 \):

\[ V \approx 8 \cdot 1.26 = 10.08 \]

Rounding to the nearest whole number, we get:

\[ V \approx 10 \]

Therefore, the wind velocity when the pressure on 4 square feet of sail is 32 pounds is:

\[ \boxed{10} \]

## Step 1: Understand the problem and the given formula
The problem states that the pressure \( P \) exerted by wind on a sail varies jointly as the area \( A \) of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity \( V \), given by \( P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \), where \( k \) is a constant. We need to first find \( k \) using the given initial conditions and then use it to find \( V \) under different conditions.

## Step 2: Calculate the constant \( k \) using the initial conditions
Given \( V = 8 \) miles per hour, \( A = 2 \) square feet, and \( P = 4 \) pounds, we substitute these into \( P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \) to find \( k \).
\[ 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 8^3 \]
\[ 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 512 \]
\[ 4 = 1024k \]
\[ k = \frac{4}{1024} = \frac{1}{256} \]
The student's calculation of \( k \) is correct.

## Step 3: Use \( k \) to find \( V \) when \( P = 32 \) pounds and \( A = 4 \) square feet
Substitute \( P = 32 \), \( A = 4 \), and \( k = \frac{1}{256} \) into the equation \( P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \).
\[ 32 = \frac{1}{256} \cdot 4 \cdot V^3 \]
\[ 32 = \frac{4V^3}{256} \]
\[ 32 = \frac{V^3}{64} \]
\[ 32 \cdot 64 = V^3 \]
\[ 2048 = V^3 \]
The student's steps to this point are correct.

## Step 4: Solve for \( V \)
To find \( V \), take the cube root of both sides.
\[ V = \sqrt[3]{2048} \]
The student simplifies \( \sqrt[3]{2048} \) by breaking down 2048 into \( 16 \cdot 128 \) and further simplifying, but let's directly calculate \( \sqrt[3]{2048} \) to verify.

## Step 5: Calculate \( \sqrt[3]{2048} \)
\( 2048 = 2^{11} \), so \( \sqrt[3]{2048} = \sqrt[3]{2^{11}} = 2^{11/3} = 2^{3 + 2/3} = 2^3 \cdot 2^{2/3} = 8 \cdot \sqrt[3]{2^2} = 8 \cdot \sqrt[3]{4} \).
\( \sqrt[3]{4} \approx 1.5874 \), so \( V \approx 8 \cdot 1.5874 \approx 12.7 \).

## Step 6: Compare the student's final answer with the correct calculation
The student approximated \( V \) to be around 10 after calculating \( 8 \cdot 2^{1/3} \approx 8 \cdot 1.26 = 10.08 \) and rounding. However, the correct calculation yields \( V \approx 12.7 \), not 10.

## Step 7: Conclusion
The student's solution contains an error in the final calculation of \( V \). The correct value of \( V \) should be approximately 12.7, not 10.

The final answer is: $\boxed{12.7}$ [END]Conclusion: wrong

Question:
The pressure P exerted by wind on a sail varies jointly as the area A of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity V. When the velocity is 8 miles per hour, the pressure on a sail of 2 square feet is 4 pounds. Find the wind velocity when the pressure on 4 square feet of sail is 32 pounds.

Please, reason step by step and put your final answer within \boxed{}.

Solution:
To solve this problem, we need to use the given information about the relationship between pressure, area, and wind velocity. The relationship is given by the equation:

\[ P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \]

where:
- \( P \) is the pressure,
- \( A \) is the area of the sail,
- \( V \) is the wind velocity,
- \( k \) is a constant of proportionality.

We are given that when the wind velocity \( V \) is 8 miles per hour, the pressure \( P \) is 4 pounds. We can use this information to find the constant \( k \):

\[ 4 = k \cdot A \cdot 8^3 \]

Since \( 8^3 = 512 \), we have:

\[ 4 = k \cdot A \cdot 512 \]

Now, we need to find the wind velocity \( V \) when the pressure \( P \) is 32 pounds on a sail with an area of 2 square feet. We can rearrange the equation to solve for \( V \):

\[ V = \frac{P}{k \cdot A \cdot 512} \]

Substitute the known values \( P = 32 \) pounds, \( A = 2 \) square feet, and \( k \cdot A \cdot 512 = 4 \):

\[ V = \frac{32}{4 \cdot 2 \cdot 512} \]

Simplify the right-hand side:

\[ V = \frac{32}{4 \cdot 2 \cdot 512} = \frac{32}{4 \cdot 1024} = \frac{32}{4096} = \frac{1}{128} \]

So, the wind velocity when the pressure on 4 square feet of sail is 32 pounds is:

\[ \boxed{\frac{1}{128}} \] pounds per hour.

[Assistant]
## Step 1: Understand the given problem and the relationship between pressure, area, and wind velocity.
The problem states that the pressure \( P \) exerted by wind on a sail varies jointly as the area \( A \) of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity \( V \), given by \( P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \), where \( k \) is a constant of proportionality.

## Step 2: Identify the given information and the information to be found.
Given: \( P = 4 \) pounds when \( V = 8 \) miles per hour and \( A = 2 \) square feet. We need to find \( V \) when \( P = 32 \) pounds and \( A = 4 \) square feet.

## Step 3: Check the student's approach to solving for \( k \) using the given initial conditions.
First, we use the initial conditions to find \( k \): \( 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 8^3 \). Since \( 8^3 = 512 \), we have \( 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 512 \), which simplifies to \( 4 = k \cdot 1024 \). Solving for \( k \) gives \( k = \frac{4}{1024} = \frac{1}{256} \).

## Step 4: Analyze the student's solution for \( V \) when \( P = 32 \) pounds and \( A = 4 \) square feet.
The student incorrectly applies the formula and given values to solve for \( V \). Let's correct this by directly using the formula \( P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \) and the value of \( k \) found.

## Step 5: Correctly solve for \( V \) using the given \( P = 32 \) pounds and \( A = 4 \) square feet.
First, find \( k \) using the initial conditions: \( 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 8^3 \), so \( k = \frac{4}{2 \cdot 512} = \frac{1}{256} \).

## Step 6: Apply the value of \( k \) to the new conditions to find \( V \).
Given \( P = 32 \) and \( A = 4 \), we substitute into \( P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \): \( 32 = \frac{1}{256} \cdot 4 \cdot V^3 \).

## Step 7: Simplify and solve for \( V \).
\( 32 = \frac{1}{256} \cdot 4 \cdot V^3 \) simplifies to \( 32 = \frac{4}{256} \cdot V^3 \), which further simplifies to \( 32 = \frac{1}{64} \cdot V^3 \). Multiplying both sides by 64 gives \( 32 \cdot 64 = V^3 \), so \( V^3 = 2048 \).

## Step 8: Calculate \( V \) from \( V^3 = 2048 \).
\( V = \sqrt[3]{2048} \). Since \( 2048 = 2^{11} \), \( V = \sqrt[3]{2^{11}} = 2^{11/3} = 2^{3 + 2/3} = 2^3 \cdot 2^{2/3} = 8 \cdot \sqrt[3]{4} \).

## Step 9: Compute the numerical value of \( V \).
\( V = 8 \cdot \sqrt[3]{4} \approx 8 \cdot 1.5874 \approx 12.7 \) miles per hour.

## Step 10: Compare the student's solution with the correct solution.
The student's solution contains errors in applying the formula and calculating \( V \). The correct approach involves finding \( k \) and then using it to solve for \( V \) under the new conditions.

The final answer is: $\boxed{12.7}$ [END]

Please critique whether the following solution to the question is correct.

Question:
The pressure P exerted by wind on a sail varies jointly as the area A of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity V. When the velocity is 8 miles per hour, the pressure on a sail of 2 square feet is 4 pounds. Find the wind velocity when the pressure on 4 square feet of sail is 32 pounds.

Please, reason step by step and put your final answer within \boxed{}.

Solution:
To solve this problem, we need to use the given information to find the pressure exerted by the wind on the sail as a function of the area and the wind velocity, and then use this function to find the wind velocity when the pressure on a sail of 4 square feet is 32 pounds.

1. **Determine the constant of proportionality:**

   The pressure \( P \) exerted by the wind on a sail varies jointly as the area \( A \) of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity \( V \). This can be written as:
   \[
   P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3
   \]
   where \( k \) is the constant of proportionality.

2. **Find the constant \( k \) using the given values:**

   We are given that when \( V = 8 \) miles per hour, \( P = 4 \) pounds. Substituting these values into the equation, we get:
   \[
   4 = k \cdot A \cdot 8^3
   \]
   Since \( 8^3 = 512 \), the equation becomes:
   \[
   4 = k \cdot A \cdot 512
   \]
   Solving for \( k \), we get:
   \[
   k = \frac{4}{512A}
   \]

3. **Find the area \( A \) for a given pressure:**

   Now, we need to find the area \( A \) when the pressure \( P \) is 32 pounds. Using the equation \( P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \) and substituting \( P = 32 \) and \( k = \frac{4}{512A} \), we get:
   \[
   32 = \left( \frac{4}{512A} \right) \cdot A \cdot V^3
   \]
   Simplifying, we get:
   \[
   32 = \frac{4}{512} \cdot V^3
   \]
   Solving for \( V^3 \), we get:
   \[
   32 = \frac{1}{128} \cdot V^3
   \]
   Therefore:
   \[
   V^3 = 32 \cdot 128 = 4096
   \]
   Taking the cube root of both sides, we get:
   \[
   V = \sqrt[3]{4096} = 16
   \]

4. **Find the area \( A \) when the pressure is 32 pounds:**

   We already found that \( V = 16 \) miles per hour. Using the equation \( P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \) again, we substitute \( P = 32 \) and \( V = 16 \):
   \[
   32 = \left( \frac{4}{512A} \right) \cdot 16^3
   \]
   Simplifying, we get:
   \[
   32 = \frac{4}{512} \cdot 4096
   \]
   Solving for \( A \), we get:
   \[
   32 = \frac{4 \cdot 4096}{512}
   \]
   \[
   32 = \frac{16384}{512}
   \]
   \[
   32 = 32
   \]
   This confirms our previous calculation. Therefore, the wind velocity when the pressure on a sail of 4 square feet is 32 pounds is:
   \[
   \boxed{16 \text{ miles per hour}}
   \]

## Step 1: Understand the problem and the given information
The problem states that the pressure \( P \) exerted by wind on a sail varies jointly as the area \( A \) of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity \( V \), given by \( P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \), where \( k \) is the constant of proportionality. We are given that when \( V = 8 \) miles per hour and \( A = 2 \) square feet, \( P = 4 \) pounds. We need to find \( V \) when \( A = 4 \) square feet and \( P = 32 \) pounds.

## Step 2: Determine the constant of proportionality using the given values
First, we use the given values to find \( k \). Substituting \( P = 4 \), \( A = 2 \), and \( V = 8 \) into the equation \( P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \), we get:
\[ 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 8^3 \]
\[ 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 512 \]
\[ 4 = k \cdot 1024 \]
Solving for \( k \), we find:
\[ k = \frac{4}{1024} = \frac{1}{256} \]

## Step 3: Verify the student's calculation for \( k \) and subsequent steps
The student initially calculates \( k \) as \( \frac{4}{512A} \) without substituting the given value of \( A = 2 \) square feet. Let's correct this and directly use the given values to find \( k \) as done in Step 2.

## Step 4: Use the found \( k \) to solve for \( V \) when \( P = 32 \) pounds and \( A = 4 \) square feet
Substitute \( P = 32 \), \( A = 4 \), and \( k = \frac{1}{256} \) into \( P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \):
\[ 32 = \frac{1}{256} \cdot 4 \cdot V^3 \]
\[ 32 = \frac{4}{256} \cdot V^3 \]
\[ 32 = \frac{1}{64} \cdot V^3 \]
Solving for \( V^3 \), we get:
\[ V^3 = 32 \times 64 \]
\[ V^3 = 2048 \]
Taking the cube root of both sides:
\[ V = \sqrt[3]{2048} \]
\[ V = 12.7 \, \text{(approximately)} \]
However, let's directly check the student's steps for any potential simplification or error.

## Step 5: Check the student's steps for errors
The student simplifies the equation to find \( V \) without directly using \( A = 2 \) to find \( k \) first. Instead, they directly substitute \( k = \frac{4}{512A} \) into the equation for \( P = 32 \) and simplify. Let's analyze their simplification:
\[ 32 = \left( \frac{4}{512A} \right) \cdot A \cdot V^3 \]
\[ 32 = \frac{4}{512} \cdot V^3 \]
\[ 32 = \frac{1}{128} \cdot V^3 \]
\[ V^3 = 32 \times 128 = 4096 \]
\[ V = \sqrt[3]{4096} = 16 \]
The student's calculation for \( V \) is correct as it simplifies to \( V = 16 \) miles per hour, but let's verify if this step is mathematically sound given the initial equation and the values provided.

## Step 6: Verify the mathematical soundness of the student's simplification
The student's simplification effectively cancels out \( A \), which is valid since \( A \) appears in both the numerator and the denominator after substitution. This leaves us with the equation dependent only on \( V \) and constants, which is a valid step.

## Step 7: Check if the final answer is correctly derived
Given that \( V = 16 \) is derived from the simplified equation, we should confirm if this satisfies the original problem statement with \( A = 4 \) square feet.

## Step 8: Confirm the solution
Let's directly calculate \( P \) using \( V = 16 \), \( A = 4 \), and \( k = \frac{1}{256} \) to verify:
\[ P = \frac{1}{256} \cdot 4 \cdot 16^3 \]
\[ P = \frac{1}{256} \cdot 4 \cdot 4096 \]
\[ P = \frac{1}{256} \cdot 16384 \]
\[ P = 64 \]
This does not match the given \( P = 32 \) pounds, indicating a discrepancy.

## Step 9: Re-evaluate the student's final steps and conclusion
The student's final steps involve confirming their calculation, but there seems to be a mix-up in directly applying the values to verify \( V \). Let's directly apply the correct formula and values to find \( V \) when \( P = 32 \) and \( A = 4 \).

## Step 10: Final calculation check
Using \( k = \frac{1}{256} \), \( P = 32 \), and \( A = 4 \):
\[ 32 = \frac{1}{256} \cdot 4 \cdot V^3 \]
\[ 32 = \frac{1}{64} \cdot V^3 \]
\[ V^3 = 32 \times 64 = 2048 \]
\[ V = \sqrt[3]{2048} \approx 12.7 \]

The final answer is: $\boxed{16}$

Question:
The pressure P exerted by wind on a sail varies jointly as the area A of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity V. When the velocity is 8 miles per hour, the pressure on a sail of 2 square feet is 4 pounds. Find the wind velocity when the pressure on 4 square feet of sail is 32 pounds.

Please, reason step by step and put your final answer within \boxed{}.

Solution:
To solve this problem, we need to use the given information about the pressure exerted by wind on a sail and the relationship between the pressure and the area of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity. Let's break it down step by step.

1. **Identify the given information:**
   - Pressure \( P \) varies jointly as the area \( A \) of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity \( V \).
   - When \( V = 8 \) miles per hour, \( A = 2 \) square feet, and \( P = 4 \) pounds.
   - We need to find the wind velocity \( V \) when the pressure on \( 4 \) square feet of sail is \( 32 \) pounds.

2. **Set up the equation:**
   Since \( P \) varies jointly with \( A \) and \( V^3 \), we can write:
   \[
   P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3
   \]
   where \( k \) is a constant. We know \( P = 4 \) pounds when \( A = 2 \) square feet and \( V = 8 \) miles per hour. Substituting these values into the equation, we get:
   \[
   4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 8^3
   \]
   Simplifying the right side:
   \[
   4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 512
   \]
   \[
   4 = 1024k
   \]
   Solving for \( k \):
   \[
   k = \frac{4}{1024} = \frac{1}{256}
   \]

3. **Use the constant \( k \) to find \( V \) when \( A = 4 \) square feet:**
   Substitute \( k = \frac{1}{256} \) and \( A = 4 \) square feet into the equation \( P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \):
   \[
   P = \frac{1}{256} \cdot 4 \cdot V^3
   \]
   Simplifying the right side:
   \[
   P = \frac{4V^3}{256}
   \]
   \[
   P = \frac{V^3}{64}
   \]
   We know \( P = 32 \) pounds when \( V = V \). Substituting this value into the equation:
   \[
   32 = \frac{V^3}{64}
   \]
   Solving for \( V^3 \):
   \[
   V^3 = 32 \cdot 64
   \]
   \[
   V^3 = 2048
   \]
   Taking the cube root of both sides:
   \[
   V = \sqrt[3]{2048}
   \]
   Since \( 2048 = 2^{11} \), we have:
   \[
   V = \sqrt[3]{2^{11}} = 2^{11/3} = 2^3 \cdot 2^{1/3} = 8 \cdot \sqrt[3]{2}
   \]
   Therefore, the wind velocity when the pressure on \( 4 \) square feet of sail is \( 32 \) pounds is:
   \[
   \boxed{8 \sqrt[3]{2}}
   \]

[Assistant]
## Step 1: Understand the problem and the given information
The problem states that the pressure \( P \) exerted by wind on a sail varies jointly as the area \( A \) of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity \( V \). We are given that when \( V = 8 \) miles per hour, \( A = 2 \) square feet, and \( P = 4 \) pounds. We need to find \( V \) when \( A = 4 \) square feet and \( P = 32 \) pounds.

## Step 2: Identify the correct formula and equation
The formula given is \( P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \), where \( k \) is a constant. We need to first find \( k \) using the given initial conditions and then use it to find \( V \) under the new conditions.

## Step 3: Calculate the constant \( k \) using the initial conditions
Given \( P = 4 \), \( A = 2 \), and \( V = 8 \), we substitute these into \( P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \) to get \( 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 8^3 \). Simplifying, we have \( 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 512 \), which gives \( 4 = 1024k \). Solving for \( k \), we find \( k = \frac{4}{1024} = \frac{1}{256} \).

## Step 4: Verify the student's calculation of \( k \) and the subsequent steps
The student correctly calculates \( k = \frac{1}{256} \) and then uses it to find \( V \) when \( A = 4 \) and \( P = 32 \). The equation becomes \( 32 = \frac{1}{256} \cdot 4 \cdot V^3 \), simplifying to \( 32 = \frac{V^3}{64} \). This leads to \( V^3 = 32 \cdot 64 = 2048 \), and thus \( V = \sqrt[3]{2048} \).

## Step 5: Evaluate the student's final calculation for \( V \)
The student calculates \( V = \sqrt[3]{2048} \) and simplifies it to \( 8\sqrt[3]{2} \) because \( 2048 = 2^{11} \) and \( \sqrt[3]{2^{11}} = 2^{11/3} = 2^3 \cdot 2^{2/3} \) is not correct; the correct simplification is \( 2^{11/3} = (2^3)^{11/3 \div 3} \cdot 2^{(11 \mod 3)} = 2^3 \cdot 2^{2/3} \) is also not the right step. The correct step is recognizing \( 2048 = 2^{11} \) and \( \sqrt[3]{2048} = \sqrt[3]{2^{11}} = 2^{11/3} \). To simplify \( 2^{11/3} \), we break it down into \( 2^{3 + 2/3} = 2^3 \cdot 2^{2/3} = 8 \cdot \sqrt[3]{2^2} = 8 \cdot \sqrt[3]{4} \), not \( 8\sqrt[3]{2} \).

## Step 6: Correctly simplify \( \sqrt[3]{2048} \)
\( 2048 = 2^{11} \), so \( \sqrt[3]{2048} = \sqrt[3]{2^{11}} = 2^{11/3} \). To simplify, \( 2^{11/3} = (2^3)^{3/3} \cdot 2^{2/3} = 8 \cdot \sqrt[3]{4} \) because \( 2^{11/3} = 2^{3 + 2/3} = 8 \cdot 2^{2/3} \) and \( 2^{2/3} = \sqrt[3]{2^2} = \sqrt[3]{4} \). Thus, \( V = 8\sqrt[3]{4} \).

## Step 7: Compare the student's answer with the correct solution
The student's final answer is \( \boxed{8 \sqrt[3]{2}} \), but the correct simplification of \( \sqrt[3]{2048} \) is \( 8\sqrt[3]{4} \), not \( 8\sqrt[3]{2} \).

The final answer is: $\boxed{8\sqrt[3]{4}}$

   - The pressure \( P \) varies jointly as the area \( A \) and the cube of the wind's velocity \( V \).
   - When \( V = 8 \) miles per hour, \( A = 2 \) square feet and \( P = 4 \) pounds.
   - We need to find the wind velocity \( V \) when the pressure \( P \) on a sail of 4 square feet is 32 pounds.

2. **Set up the proportion:**
   Since \( P \) varies jointly as \( A \) and \( V^3 \), we can write:
   \[
   P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3
   \]
   where \( k \) is the constant of proportionality.

3. **Find the constant \( k \):**
   We know \( P = 4 \) pounds when \( A = 2 \) square feet. Substitute these values into the equation:
   \[
   4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot V^3
   \]
   Solving for \( k \):
   \[
   k = \frac{4}{2V^3} = \frac{2}{V^3}
   \]

4. **Use the new conditions to find \( V \) when \( A = 4 \) square feet:**
   We need to find \( V \) when \( P = 32 \) pounds. Substitute \( P = 32 \) and \( k = \frac{2}{V^3} \) into the equation:
   \[
   32 = \frac{2}{V^3} \cdot A \cdot V^3
   \]
   Simplify the equation:
   \[
   32 = 2A
   \]
   Solving for \( A \):
   \[
   A = \frac{32}{2} = 16 \text{ square feet}
   \]

5. **Substitute \( A = 16 \) square feet back into the proportion to find \( V \):**
   \[
   4 = \frac{2}{V^3} \cdot 16 \cdot V^3
   \]
   Simplify the equation:
   \[
   4 = \frac{32V^3}{V^3}
   \]
   \[
   4 = 32
   \]
   This confirms our setup is correct. Now, solve for \( V \):
   \[
   4 = \frac{2}{V^3}
   \]
   \[
   4V^3 = 2
   \]
   \[
   V^3 = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}
   \]
   \[
   V = \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{2}}
   \]

Therefore, the wind velocity when the pressure on 4 square feet of sail is 32 pounds is:
\[
\boxed{\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{2}} \text{ miles per hour}}
\]

## Step 1: Understand the problem and the given information
The problem states that the pressure \( P \) exerted by wind on a sail varies jointly as the area \( A \) of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity \( V \). We are given that when \( V = 8 \) miles per hour, \( A = 2 \) square feet, and \( P = 4 \) pounds. We need to find \( V \) when \( A = 4 \) square feet and \( P = 32 \) pounds.

## Step 2: Set up the equation based on the given variation
Since \( P \) varies jointly as \( A \) and \( V^3 \), the equation is \( P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \), where \( k \) is the constant of proportionality.

## Step 3: Check the student's step to find the constant \( k \)
First, we use the given values to find \( k \): \( 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot (8)^3 \). So, \( 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 512 \), which simplifies to \( 4 = k \cdot 1024 \). Solving for \( k \) gives \( k = \frac{4}{1024} = \frac{1}{256} \).

## Step 4: Analyze the student's solution for finding \( V \) when \( A = 4 \) square feet and \( P = 32 \) pounds
The student incorrectly substitutes \( k = \frac{2}{V^3} \) into the equation. Instead, we should directly use the value of \( k \) found from the initial conditions to solve for \( V \) when \( P = 32 \) and \( A = 4 \).

## Step 5: Correctly solve for \( V \) using the found \( k \)
Substitute \( P = 32 \), \( A = 4 \), and \( k = \frac{1}{256} \) into \( P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \):
\[ 32 = \frac{1}{256} \cdot 4 \cdot V^3 \]
\[ 32 = \frac{4V^3}{256} \]
\[ 32 = \frac{V^3}{64} \]
\[ 32 \times 64 = V^3 \]
\[ 2048 = V^3 \]
\[ V = \sqrt[3]{2048} \]
\[ V = \sqrt[3]{2^{11}} \]
\[ V = 2^{\frac{11}{3}} \]
\[ V = 2^{3 + \frac{2}{3}} \]
\[ V = 2^3 \cdot 2^{\frac{2}{3}} \]
\[ V = 8 \cdot \sqrt[3]{2^2} \]
\[ V = 8 \cdot \sqrt[3]{4} \]

## Step 6: Calculate the numerical value of \( V \)
\[ V = 8 \cdot \sqrt[3]{4} \]
\[ V \approx 8 \cdot 1.5874 \]
\[ V \approx 12.6992 \]

## Step 7: Evaluate the student's final answer
The student's final answer is \( \boxed{\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{2}}} \), which is incorrect based on the miscalculation in their steps.

The final answer is: $\boxed{8\sqrt[3]{4}}$

\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{2}} \text{ miles per hour}

Please critique whether the following solution to the question is correct.

Question:
The pressure P exerted by wind on a sail varies jointly as the area A of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity V. When the velocity is 8 miles per hour, the pressure on a sail of 2 square feet is 4 pounds. Find the wind velocity when the pressure on 4 square feet of sail is 32 pounds.

Please, reason step by step and put your final answer within \boxed{}.

Solution:
To solve this problem, we need to use the given information to find the constants of proportionality and then use them to find the wind velocity when the pressure on a 4 square foot sail is 32 pounds.

1. **Identify the given information:**
   - The pressure \( P \) varies jointly as the area \( A \) of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity \( V \).
   - When \( V = 8 \) miles per hour, \( A = 2 \) square feet and \( P = 4 \) pounds.

2. **Express the relationship mathematically:**
   \[
   P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3
   \]
   where \( k \) is a constant of proportionality.

3. **Substitute the given values to find \( k \):**
   \[
   4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 8^3
   \]
   First, calculate \( 8^3 \):
   \[
   8^3 = 512
   \]
   Now substitute this value back into the equation:
   \[
   4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 512
   \]
   Simplify the right-hand side:
   \[
   4 = k \cdot 1024
   \]
   Solve for \( k \):
   \[
   k = \frac{4}{1024} = \frac{1}{256}
   \]

4. **Use the constant \( k \) to find the wind velocity when the pressure on a 4 square foot sail is 32 pounds:**
   \[
   P = \frac{1}{256} \cdot A \cdot V^3
   \]
   Substitute \( P = 32 \) pounds and \( A = 4 \) square feet:
   \[
   32 = \frac{1}{256} \cdot 4 \cdot V^3
   \]
   Simplify the right-hand side:
   \[
   32 = \frac{4}{256} \cdot V^3
   \]
   \[
   32 = \frac{1}{64} \cdot V^3
   \]
   Solve for \( V^3 \):
   \[
   V^3 = 32 \cdot 64
   \]
   \[
   V^3 = 2048
   \]
   Take the cube root of both sides to solve for \( V \):
   \[
   V = \sqrt[3]{2048}
   \]
   Since \( 2048 = 2^11 \):
   \[
   V = \sqrt[3]{2^11} = 2^{11/3} = 2^3 \cdot 2^{1/3} = 8 \cdot \sqrt[3]{2}
   \]
   Approximating \( \sqrt[3]{2} \approx 1.26 \):
   \[
   V \approx 8 \cdot 1.26 = 9.84 \text{ miles per hour}
   \]

Therefore, the wind velocity when the pressure on 4 square feet of sail is 32 pounds is approximately \(\boxed{9.84}\) miles per hour.

[Assistant]
## Step 1: Understand the problem and the given information
The problem states that the pressure \( P \) exerted by wind on a sail varies jointly as the area \( A \) of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity \( V \). We are given that when \( V = 8 \) miles per hour, \( A = 2 \) square feet, and \( P = 4 \) pounds. We need to find \( V \) when \( A = 4 \) square feet and \( P = 32 \) pounds.

## Step 2: Express the relationship between \( P \), \( A \), and \( V \) mathematically
The given relationship is \( P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \), where \( k \) is a constant of proportionality.

## Step 3: Check the student's step to find \( k \)
The student substitutes \( P = 4 \), \( A = 2 \), and \( V = 8 \) into the equation to find \( k \):
\[ 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 8^3 \]
\[ 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 512 \]
\[ 4 = k \cdot 1024 \]
\[ k = \frac{4}{1024} = \frac{1}{256} \]
This step is correct.

## Step 4: Verify the student's calculation to find \( V \) when \( P = 32 \) and \( A = 4 \)
Substitute \( P = 32 \), \( A = 4 \), and \( k = \frac{1}{256} \) into the equation:
\[ 32 = \frac{1}{256} \cdot 4 \cdot V^3 \]
\[ 32 = \frac{4}{256} \cdot V^3 \]
\[ 32 = \frac{1}{64} \cdot V^3 \]
\[ V^3 = 32 \cdot 64 \]
\[ V^3 = 2048 \]
\[ V = \sqrt[3]{2048} \]
The student correctly calculates \( V \) as \( \sqrt[3]{2048} \) and approximates it.

## Step 5: Calculate \( \sqrt[3]{2048} \) to verify the student's approximation
\( 2048 = 2^{11} \), so \( \sqrt[3]{2048} = \sqrt[3]{2^{11}} = 2^{11/3} \). To simplify, \( 2^{11/3} = 2^3 \cdot 2^{2/3} \) because \( 11/3 = 3 + 2/3 \). Thus, \( V = 8 \cdot \sqrt[3]{2^2} \) is not the correct simplification; instead, we directly calculate \( 2^{11/3} \) or simplify it correctly as \( 8 \cdot \sqrt[3]{2} \) is an approximation step. Let's directly check if \( 2^{11/3} \) is approximately 12.7 (since \( 2^3 = 8 \) and \( 2^{2/3} \) is roughly 1.587, then \( 8 * 1.587 = 12.7 \)), which is a more accurate calculation than the student's approximation.

## Step 6: Evaluate the student's final answer
The student approximates \( V \) as \( 8 \cdot 1.26 = 10.08 \) (though they wrote 9.84, the correct calculation with \( \sqrt[3]{2} \approx 1.26 \) should be around \( 8 * 1.26 = 10.08 \)), but let's directly calculate: \( V = \sqrt[3]{2048} \approx 12.7 \) miles per hour, since \( 2^{11/3} = (2^3)^{11/9} \) is not the right way to simplify here, we directly know \( 2^{11/3} \) is between \( 2^3 = 8 \) and \( 2^4 = 16 \), and more precisely, it's around 12.7.

## Step 7: Compare the calculated value with the student's answer
The student's final answer is \( \boxed{9.84} \), but the correct calculation yields \( V \approx 12.7 \) miles per hour.

The final answer is: $\boxed{12.7}$

Please critique whether the following solution to the question is correct.

Question:
The pressure P exerted by wind on a sail varies jointly as the area A of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity V. When the velocity is 8 miles per hour, the pressure on a sail of 2 square feet is 4 pounds. Find the wind velocity when the pressure on 4 square feet of sail is 32 pounds.

Please, reason step by step and put your final answer within \boxed{}.

Solution:
To solve this problem, we need to use the given information to find the relationship between the wind velocity \( V \), the area \( A \), and the pressure \( P \). The relationship is given by:

\[ P \propto \frac{A}{V^3} \]

This means that the pressure \( P \) is proportional to the area \( A \) divided by the cube of the wind velocity \( V \). Mathematically, this can be written as:

\[ P = k \cdot \frac{A}{V^3} \]

where \( k \) is a constant of proportionality.

We are given that when the wind velocity \( V \) is 8 miles per hour, the pressure \( P \) on a sail of 2 square feet is 4 pounds. We can use this information to find the value of \( k \):

\[ 4 = k \cdot \frac{2}{8^3} \]

First, we calculate \( 8^3 \):

\[ 8^3 = 8 \times 8 \times 8 = 512 \]

So the equation becomes:

\[ 4 = k \cdot \frac{2}{512} \]

To solve for \( k \), we multiply both sides by 512:

\[ 4 \times 512 = k \cdot 2 \]

\[ 2048 = k \cdot 2 \]

\[ k = \frac{2048}{2} = 1024 \]

Now that we have the value of \( k \), we can use it to find the wind velocity when the pressure on a sail of 4 square feet is 32 pounds. We substitute \( P = 32 \) pounds, \( A = 4 \) square feet, and \( k = 1024 \) into the equation:

\[ 32 = 1024 \cdot \frac{4}{V^3} \]

To solve for \( V^3 \), we divide both sides by 1024:

\[ \frac{32}{1024} = \frac{4}{V^3} \]

\[ \frac{1}{32} = \frac{4}{V^3} \]

Cross-multiplying gives:

\[ V^3 = 4 \times 32 \]

\[ V^3 = 128 \]

To find \( V \), we take the cube root of both sides:

\[ V = \sqrt[3]{128} \]

Since \( 128 = 2^7 \), we have:

\[ V = \sqrt[3]{2^7} = 2^{7/3} \]

Therefore, the wind velocity when the pressure on 4 square feet of sail is 32 pounds is:

\[ \boxed{2^{7/3}} \]

[Assistant]
## Step 1: Understand the given problem and the student's solution
The problem states that the pressure \( P \) exerted by wind on a sail varies jointly as the area \( A \) of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity \( V \). This relationship can be expressed as \( P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \), where \( k \) is a constant of proportionality. The student is given two sets of conditions: (1) \( V = 8 \) mph, \( A = 2 \) sq ft, and \( P = 4 \) pounds, and (2) \( A = 4 \) sq ft, \( P = 32 \) pounds, and \( V \) is to be found.

## Step 2: Identify the correct formula based on the problem statement
The correct formula based on the problem statement should be \( P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \), not \( P = k \cdot \frac{A}{V^3} \) as the student initially wrote. The correct interpretation of "varies jointly as the area \( A \) of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity \( V \)" directly translates to \( P \) being proportional to \( A \cdot V^3 \).

## Step 3: Check the student's calculation for \( k \) using the given initial conditions
First, let's correct the formula to \( P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \) and use the given values to find \( k \): \( 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 8^3 \). Calculating \( 8^3 = 512 \), we have \( 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 512 \), which simplifies to \( 4 = k \cdot 1024 \). Solving for \( k \) gives \( k = \frac{4}{1024} = \frac{1}{256} \).

## Step 4: Verify the student's solution for \( V \) when \( P = 32 \) pounds and \( A = 4 \) square feet
Using \( P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \) and substituting \( P = 32 \), \( A = 4 \), and \( k = \frac{1}{256} \), we get \( 32 = \frac{1}{256} \cdot 4 \cdot V^3 \). Simplifying, \( 32 = \frac{4}{256} \cdot V^3 \) or \( 32 = \frac{1}{64} \cdot V^3 \). Multiplying both sides by 64 gives \( V^3 = 32 \times 64 = 2048 \).

## Step 5: Calculate \( V \) from \( V^3 = 2048 \)
To find \( V \), we take the cube root of both sides: \( V = \sqrt[3]{2048} \). Since \( 2048 = 2^{11} \), \( V = \sqrt[3]{2^{11}} = 2^{11/3} \).

## Step 6: Compare the student's final answer with the correct solution
The student's final answer is \( \boxed{2^{7/3}} \), but our calculation yields \( V = 2^{11/3} \).

## Step 7: Evaluate the correctness of the student's solution
The student's initial formula was incorrect, and although they proceeded with calculations, the error in the formula led to a different constant \( k \) and subsequently a different \( V \). Let's directly compare the student's steps and our steps to identify the discrepancy.

## Step 8: Conclusion on the student's solution
The student's solution started with an incorrect formula \( P = k \cdot \frac{A}{V^3} \) instead of \( P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \), leading to incorrect calculations. The correct \( k \) and \( V \) should be derived from the correct formula.

The final answer is: $\boxed{2^{11/3}}$

Question:
The pressure P exerted by wind on a sail varies jointly as the area A of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity V. When the velocity is 8 miles per hour, the pressure on a sail of 2 square feet is 4 pounds. Find the wind velocity when the pressure on 4 square feet of sail is 32 pounds.

Please, reason step by step and put your final answer within \boxed{}.

Solution:
To solve this problem, we need to use the given information to find the constants of proportionality, and then use those constants to find the wind velocity when the pressure on a 4 square foot sail is 32 pounds.

The pressure \( P \) exerted by wind on a sail is given by the formula:
\[ P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \]
where:
- \( P \) is the pressure,
- \( k \) is a constant of proportionality,
- \( A \) is the area of the sail,
- \( V \) is the velocity of the wind.

We are given that when the velocity \( V = 8 \) miles per hour, the pressure \( P = 4 \) pounds. Substituting these values into the formula, we can solve for \( k \):
\[ 4 = k \cdot A \cdot 8^3 \]
\[ 4 = k \cdot A \cdot 512 \]
\[ k = \frac{4}{512 \cdot A} \]
\[ k = \frac{1}{128 \cdot A} \]

Now, we need to find the wind velocity \( V \) when the pressure on a 4 square foot sail is 32 pounds. We substitute \( A = 4 \) square feet and \( P = 32 \) pounds into the formula:
\[ 32 = \left( \frac{1}{128 \cdot 4} \right) \cdot 4 \cdot V^3 \]
\[ 32 = \frac{4}{512 \cdot 4} \cdot V^3 \]
\[ 32 = \frac{1}{128 \cdot V^3} \cdot V^3 \]
\[ 32 = \frac{1}{128} \]
\[ 32 = \frac{1}{128} \]

This confirms that our equation is consistent. Now, we need to find \( V \). Since we have \( k \) in terms of \( V \), we can use the equation:
\[ k = \frac{1}{128 \cdot A} \]
\[ \frac{1}{128 \cdot A} = \frac{1}{128} \]
\[ A = 128 \cdot V^3 \]
\[ A = 128 \cdot (4)^3 \]
\[ A = 128 \cdot 64 \]
\[ A = 8192 \]

Now, we can find \( V \) using the equation \( k = \frac{1}{128 \cdot A} \):
\[ k = \frac{1}{128 \cdot 8192} \]
\[ k = \frac{1}{1036800} \]
\[ k = \frac{1}{1036800} \]

Finally, we can find the wind velocity \( V \) when the pressure on a 4 square foot sail is 32 pounds:
\[ 32 = \frac{1}{1036800} \cdot 4 \cdot V^3 \]
\[ 32 = \frac{4}{1036800} \cdot V^3 \]
\[ V^3 = \frac{32 \cdot 1036800}{4} \]
\[ V^3 = \frac{32 \cdot 1036800}{4} \]
\[ V^3 = \frac{32 \cdot 1036800}{4} \]
\[ V^3 = 825600 \]
\[ V = \sqrt[3]{825600} \]
\[ V = 40 \]

Therefore, the wind velocity when the pressure on 4 square feet of sail is 32 pounds is \(\boxed{40}\) miles per hour.

[Assistant]
## Step 1: Understand the given problem and the formula for pressure exerted by wind on a sail.
The problem states that the pressure \( P \) exerted by wind on a sail varies jointly as the area \( A \) of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity \( V \), given by \( P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \), where \( k \) is a constant of proportionality.

## Step 2: Identify the given information and the information to be found.
Given: \( P = 4 \) pounds when \( V = 8 \) miles per hour and \( A = 2 \) square feet. We need to find \( V \) when \( P = 32 \) pounds and \( A = 4 \) square feet.

## Step 3: Check the student's initial steps to find \( k \) using the given information.
The student starts with \( 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 8^3 \) to find \( k \). Let's calculate it correctly:
\[ 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 512 \]
\[ 4 = k \cdot 1024 \]
\[ k = \frac{4}{1024} = \frac{1}{256} \]

## Step 4: Analyze the student's solution for finding \( V \) when \( P = 32 \) pounds and \( A = 4 \) square feet.
The student substitutes \( A = 4 \) and \( P = 32 \) into the formula to find \( V \), but first, they need to correctly apply the value of \( k \) they found.

## Step 5: Correctly apply the formula to find \( V \) using the given \( P = 32 \) pounds and \( A = 4 \) square feet.
Using \( P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \) and substituting \( k = \frac{1}{256} \), \( A = 4 \), and \( P = 32 \):
\[ 32 = \frac{1}{256} \cdot 4 \cdot V^3 \]
\[ 32 = \frac{4}{256} \cdot V^3 \]
\[ 32 = \frac{1}{64} \cdot V^3 \]
\[ V^3 = 32 \times 64 \]
\[ V^3 = 2048 \]
\[ V = \sqrt[3]{2048} \]
\[ V = 12.7 \] (approximately), since \( 2048 = 2^{11} \) and \( \sqrt[3]{2^{11}} = 2^{11/3} \approx 2^{3.67} \approx 12.7 \).

## Step 6: Evaluate the student's final answer.
The student's final answer is \( \boxed{40} \) miles per hour. Let's compare it with our calculation.

## Step 7: Compare the calculated \( V \) with the student's answer.
The calculated \( V \) is approximately \( 12.7 \) miles per hour, not \( 40 \) miles per hour as the student concluded.

## Step 8: Identify the errors in the student's solution.
The student's solution contains errors in calculating \( k \) and subsequently in finding \( V \). The correct \( k \) is \( \frac{1}{256} \), and the correct calculation for \( V \) yields approximately \( 12.7 \) miles per hour.

## Step 9: Provide the correct final answer.
\[ V = \sqrt[3]{2048} \]
\[ V \approx 12.7 \]

The final answer is: $\boxed{12.7}$ [END]

Please critique whether the following solution to the question is correct.

Question:
The pressure P exerted by wind on a sail varies jointly as the area A of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity V. When the velocity is 8 miles per hour, the pressure on a sail of 2 square feet is 4 pounds. Find the wind velocity when the pressure on 4 square feet of sail is 32 pounds.

Please, reason step by step and put your final answer within \boxed{}.

Solution:
To solve this problem, we start by defining the variables and understanding the relationship given in the problem. Let \( P \) be the pressure exerted by the wind on the sail, \( A \) be the area of the sail, and \( V \) be the wind velocity in miles per hour. The relationship between these variables is given by the equation:

\[ P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \]

where \( k \) is a constant of proportionality. We are given that when the wind velocity is 8 miles per hour, the pressure on a sail of 2 square feet is 4 pounds. We can use this information to find the value of \( k \):

\[ 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot V^3 \]
\[ k = \frac{4}{2V^3} \]

Now, we need to find the wind velocity when the pressure on a sail of 4 square feet is 32 pounds. Using the same relationship \( P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \), we substitute \( P = 32 \) and \( A = 4 \):

\[ 32 = \frac{4}{2V^3} \cdot 4 \cdot V^3 \]
\[ 32 = 16 \cdot V^3 \]
\[ V^3 = 2 \]
\[ V = \sqrt[3]{2} \]

Therefore, the wind velocity when the pressure on a sail of 4 square feet is 32 pounds is:

\[ \boxed{\sqrt[3]{2}} \]

[Assistant]
## Step 1: Understand the given problem and the relationship between the variables.
The problem states that the pressure $P$ exerted by wind on a sail varies jointly as the area $A$ of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity $V$. This relationship is given by $P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3$, where $k$ is a constant of proportionality.

## Step 2: Identify the given information and the information to be found.
Given: $P = 4$ pounds when $A = 2$ square feet and $V = 8$ miles per hour. We need to find $V$ when $P = 32$ pounds and $A = 4$ square feet.

## Step 3: Check the student's step to find the constant of proportionality $k$.
First, we use the given values to find $k$: $4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot (8)^3$. So, $4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 512$, which simplifies to $4 = k \cdot 1024$. Thus, $k = \frac{4}{1024} = \frac{1}{256}$.

## Step 4: Analyze the student's calculation for $k$ and subsequent steps.
The student incorrectly calculates $k$ as $\frac{4}{2V^3}$ without substituting the given value of $V = 8$ into the equation. The correct calculation for $k$ should be done using the given $V = 8$, $A = 2$, and $P = 4$.

## Step 5: Correctly calculate $k$ using the given values.
$4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot (8)^3 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 512 = k \cdot 1024$. So, $k = \frac{4}{1024} = \frac{1}{256}$.

## Step 6: Use the value of $k$ to find $V$ when $P = 32$ and $A = 4$.
Substitute $P = 32$, $A = 4$, and $k = \frac{1}{256}$ into $P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3$: $32 = \frac{1}{256} \cdot 4 \cdot V^3$. Simplifying, we get $32 = \frac{4V^3}{256}$, which further simplifies to $32 = \frac{V^3}{64}$.

## Step 7: Solve for $V$.
$32 = \frac{V^3}{64}$ implies $V^3 = 32 \times 64 = 2048$. So, $V = \sqrt[3]{2048}$.

## Step 8: Calculate $\sqrt[3]{2048}$.
Since $2048 = 2^{11}$, $V = \sqrt[3]{2^{11}} = 2^{11/3} = 2^{3 + 2/3} = 2^3 \cdot 2^{2/3} = 8 \cdot \sqrt[3]{4}$.

## Step 9: Evaluate if the student's final answer is correct.
The student's final answer is $\sqrt[3]{2}$, which is not equal to $\sqrt[3]{2048}$ or $8\sqrt[3]{4}$.

## Step 10: Provide the correct final answer.
$V = \sqrt[3]{2048} = 8\sqrt[3]{4} \approx 12.7$. However, the exact value is $\boxed{8\sqrt[3]{4}}$ or more precisely in radical form, $\boxed{\sqrt[3]{2048}}$.

The final answer is: $\boxed{8\sqrt[3]{4}}$ [END]

Question:
The pressure P exerted by wind on a sail varies jointly as the area A of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity V. When the velocity is 8 miles per hour, the pressure on a sail of 2 square feet is 4 pounds. Find the wind velocity when the pressure on 4 square feet of sail is 32 pounds.

Please, reason step by step and put your final answer within \boxed{}.

Solution:
To solve the problem, we need to use the given information to find the relationship between the pressure \( P \), the area \( A \), and the velocity \( V \). The problem states that the pressure \( P \) varies jointly as the area \( A \) and the cube of the velocity \( V \). This can be expressed mathematically as:

\[ P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \]

where \( k \) is a constant of proportionality.

We are given that when the velocity \( V \) is 8 miles per hour, the pressure \( P \) on a sail of 2 square feet is 4 pounds. We can use this information to find the value of \( k \). Substituting \( P = 4 \) pounds, \( A = 2 \) square feet, and \( V = 8 \) miles per hour into the equation, we get:

\[ 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 8^3 \]

First, calculate \( 8^3 \):

\[ 8^3 = 512 \]

Now substitute this value back into the equation:

\[ 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 512 \]

Simplify the right side of the equation:

\[ 4 = 1024k \]

To find \( k \), divide both sides by 1024:

\[ k = \frac{4}{1024} = \frac{1}{256} \]

Now that we have the value of \( k \), we can use it to find the pressure when the area \( A \) is 4 square feet. Substitute \( k = \frac{1}{256} \), \( A = 4 \) square feet, and \( P = 32 \) pounds into the equation \( P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \):

\[ 32 = \frac{1}{256} \cdot 4 \cdot V^3 \]

Simplify the right side of the equation:

\[ 32 = \frac{4V^3}{256} \]

To isolate \( V^3 \), multiply both sides by 256:

\[ 32 \cdot 256 = 4V^3 \]

\[ 8192 = 4V^3 \]

Divide both sides by 4:

\[ 2048 = V^3 \]

To find \( V \), take the cube root of both sides:

\[ V = \sqrt[3]{2048} \]

Since \( 2048 = 16 \cdot 128 = 2^4 \cdot 128 = 2^4 \cdot 2^7 = 2^7 \), we have:

\[ V = \sqrt[3]{2^7} = 2^{7/3} = 2^2 \cdot 2^{1/3} = 4 \cdot 2^{1/3} = 4 \cdot \sqrt[3]{2} \]

Using a calculator to find the numerical value of \( \sqrt[3]{2} \):

\[ \sqrt[3]{2} \approx 1.26 \]

So,

\[ V \approx 4 \cdot 1.26 = 5.04 \]

Therefore, the wind velocity when the pressure on 4 square feet of sail is 32 pounds is approximately \(\boxed{5.04}\) miles per hour.

## Step 1: Understand the problem and the given information
The problem states that the pressure \( P \) exerted by wind on a sail varies jointly as the area \( A \) of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity \( V \), given by \( P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \), where \( k \) is a constant of proportionality. We are given that when \( V = 8 \) miles per hour, \( P = 4 \) pounds on a sail of \( A = 2 \) square feet. We need to find \( V \) when \( P = 32 \) pounds on a sail of \( A = 4 \) square feet.

## Step 2: Verify the student's calculation of \( k \)
The student calculates \( k \) using the given values: \( P = 4 \), \( A = 2 \), and \( V = 8 \). Substituting these into \( P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \) gives \( 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 8^3 \). Since \( 8^3 = 512 \), we have \( 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 512 = 1024k \), so \( k = \frac{4}{1024} = \frac{1}{256} \). This step is correct.

## Step 3: Check the student's use of \( k \) to find \( V \) when \( P = 32 \) and \( A = 4 \)
The student substitutes \( k = \frac{1}{256} \), \( A = 4 \), and \( P = 32 \) into the equation to get \( 32 = \frac{1}{256} \cdot 4 \cdot V^3 \). Simplifying, we get \( 32 = \frac{4V^3}{256} \). Multiplying both sides by 256 gives \( 32 \cdot 256 = 4V^3 \), so \( 8192 = 4V^3 \). Dividing both sides by 4 yields \( 2048 = V^3 \). This step is correct.

## Step 4: Evaluate the student's calculation of \( V \)
To find \( V \), we need to calculate \( \sqrt[3]{2048} \). The student simplifies \( 2048 = 2^{11} \) (though not directly stated, \( 2048 = 2^{11} \) because \( 2^{10} = 1024 \) and \( 2^{11} = 2048 \)), and then finds \( V = \sqrt[3]{2^{11}} \). To simplify, \( V = 2^{11/3} \). The student approximates \( \sqrt[3]{2048} \) by first incorrectly simplifying it as \( 2^{7/3} \) and then approximating \( 2^{1/3} \) to find \( V \approx 5.04 \) miles per hour.

## Step 5: Correctly calculate \( V \)
\( V = \sqrt[3]{2048} = \sqrt[3]{2^{11}} = 2^{11/3} \). To simplify this, we can break it down into \( 2^{3} \cdot 2^{2/3} \) because \( 11/3 = 3 + 2/3 \), so \( V = 8 \cdot \sqrt[3]{2^2} = 8 \cdot \sqrt[3]{4} \). Calculating \( \sqrt[3]{4} \) gives approximately \( 1.5874 \), so \( V \approx 8 \cdot 1.5874 = 12.6992 \) miles per hour.

## Step 6: Compare the student's answer with the correct calculation
The student's final answer is \( \boxed{5.04} \) miles per hour, but the correct calculation yields \( V \approx 12.70 \) miles per hour.

The final answer is: $\boxed{12.7}$ Conclusion: wrong [END]

Solution:
To solve this problem, we need to use the given information to find the relationship between the pressure \( P \), the area \( A \), and the wind velocity \( V \). The relationship is given by the equation:

\[ P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \]

where \( k \) is a constant of proportionality. We are given that when \( V = 8 \) miles per hour, \( P = 4 \) pounds. We can use this information to find \( k \):

\[ 4 = k \cdot A \cdot 8^3 \]
\[ 4 = k \cdot A \cdot 512 \]
\[ k = \frac{4}{512A} \]

Now that we have the constant \( k \), we can use it to find the wind velocity when the pressure on a sail of 4 square feet is 32 pounds. We substitute \( P = 32 \) pounds and \( A = 4 \) square feet into the equation:

\[ 32 = \frac{4}{512A} \cdot 4 \cdot V^3 \]
\[ 32 = \frac{16V^3}{512A} \]
\[ 32 = \frac{V^3}{32A} \]

To find \( V \), we solve for \( V^3 \):

\[ V^3 = 32 \cdot 32A \]
\[ V^3 = 1024A \]
\[ V = \sqrt[3]{1024A} \]
\[ V = \sqrt[3]{2^{10} \cdot A} \]
\[ V = 2^{\frac{10}{3}} \cdot A^{1/3} \]

Since we don't have the exact value of \( A \), we can leave the answer in terms of \( A \):

\[ V = 2^{\frac{10}{3}} \cdot A^{1/3} \]

Thus, the wind velocity when the pressure on 4 square feet of sail is 32 pounds is:

\[ \boxed{2^{\frac{10}{3}} \cdot A^{1/3}} \]

[Assistant]
## Step 1: Understand the given problem and the student's solution
The problem states that the pressure \( P \) exerted by wind on a sail varies jointly as the area \( A \) of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity \( V \), given by \( P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \). We need to find \( V \) when \( P = 32 \) pounds and \( A = 4 \) square feet, given that \( P = 4 \) pounds when \( V = 8 \) miles per hour and \( A = 2 \) square feet.

## Step 2: Identify the key mathematical concepts and correct approach
The key concept here is the joint variation formula \( P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \), where \( k \) is a constant. To solve the problem, we first need to find \( k \) using the given initial conditions and then use it to find \( V \) under the new conditions.

## Step 3: Check the student's step to find \( k \)
The student starts with \( 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 8^3 \) to find \( k \). Let's calculate it correctly:
\[ 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 512 \]
\[ 4 = k \cdot 1024 \]
\[ k = \frac{4}{1024} = \frac{1}{256} \]
The student incorrectly left \( A \) in the equation for \( k \), which should be substituted with the given value of 2 square feet.

## Step 4: Analyze the student's use of \( k \) to find \( V \) under new conditions
The student then substitutes \( P = 32 \), \( A = 4 \), and \( k = \frac{4}{512A} \) into the equation. However, the correct \( k \) should be used as found in Step 3. Let's correct this and directly apply the initial and final conditions to the formula without explicitly solving for \( k \) first, as the proportionality can be used directly.

## Step 5: Apply the correct method to solve for \( V \)
Given \( P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \), we can set up a proportion using the two sets of conditions:
\[ \frac{P_1}{P_2} = \frac{A_1 \cdot V_1^3}{A_2 \cdot V_2^3} \]
Substituting the given values: \( P_1 = 4 \), \( A_1 = 2 \), \( V_1 = 8 \), \( P_2 = 32 \), \( A_2 = 4 \), we get:
\[ \frac{4}{32} = \frac{2 \cdot 8^3}{4 \cdot V_2^3} \]
\[ \frac{1}{8} = \frac{2 \cdot 512}{4 \cdot V_2^3} \]
\[ \frac{1}{8} = \frac{1024}{4 \cdot V_2^3} \]
\[ \frac{1}{8} = \frac{256}{V_2^3} \]
\[ V_2^3 = 8 \times 256 \]
\[ V_2^3 = 2048 \]
\[ V_2 = \sqrt[3]{2048} \]
\[ V_2 = \sqrt[3]{2^{11}} \]
\[ V_2 = 2^{\frac{11}{3}} \]

## Step 6: Calculate the numerical value of \( V_2 \)
\[ V_2 = 2^{\frac{11}{3}} = 2^{3 + \frac{2}{3}} = 2^3 \cdot 2^{\frac{2}{3}} = 8 \cdot \sqrt[3]{2^2} = 8 \cdot \sqrt[3]{4} \]
Let's compute \( 2^{\frac{11}{3}} \) directly:
\[ 2^{\frac{11}{3}} \approx 8 \cdot 1.5874 \approx 12.7 \]

## Step 7: Evaluate the student's final answer
The student's final answer is \( \boxed{2^{\frac{10}{3}} \cdot A^{1/3}} \), which is incorrect because it doesn't correctly apply the given conditions to solve for \( V \) and incorrectly leaves \( A \) in the solution.

The final answer is: $\boxed{2^{\frac{11}{3}}}$

Question:
The pressure P exerted by wind on a sail varies jointly as the area A of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity V. When the velocity is 8 miles per hour, the pressure on a sail of 2 square feet is 4 pounds. Find the wind velocity when the pressure on 4 square feet of sail is 32 pounds.

Please, reason step by step and put your final answer within \boxed{}.

Solution:
To solve this problem, we need to use the given information to find the relationship between the pressure \( P \), the area \( A \), and the velocity \( V \). The relationship is given by:

\[ P \propto A \times V^3 \]

This can be written as:

\[ P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \]

where \( k \) is a constant of proportionality.

First, we need to find the value of \( k \). We know that when \( V = 8 \) miles per hour, \( A = 2 \) square feet, and \( P = 4 \) pounds. Substituting these values into the equation, we get:

\[ 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 8^3 \]

Calculating \( 8^3 \):

\[ 8^3 = 512 \]

So the equation becomes:

\[ 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 512 \]

Solving for \( k \):

\[ 4 = 1024k \]
\[ k = \frac{4}{1024} = \frac{1}{256} \]

Now we have the equation:

\[ P = \frac{1}{256} \cdot A \cdot V^3 \]

Next, we need to find the wind velocity \( V \) when the pressure \( P \) on a sail of 4 square feet is 32 pounds. Substituting \( P = 32 \) pounds and \( A = 4 \) square feet into the equation, we get:

\[ 32 = \frac{1}{256} \cdot 4 \cdot V^3 \]

Solving for \( V^3 \):

\[ 32 = \frac{4}{256} \cdot V^3 \]
\[ 32 = \frac{1}{64} \cdot V^3 \]
\[ 32 = \frac{1}{64} \cdot V^3 \]
\[ V^3 = 32 \cdot 64 \]
\[ V^3 = 2048 \]
\[ V = \sqrt[3]{2048} \]

Since \( 2048 = 16 \times 128 = 16 \times 2^7 \), we have:

\[ V = \sqrt[3]{16 \cdot 2^7} = \sqrt[3]{16} \cdot \sqrt[3]{2^7} = 2^2 \cdot \sqrt[3]{16} = 4 \cdot \sqrt[3]{16} \]

Using the fact that \( \sqrt[3]{16} = 2 \sqrt[3]{2} \), we get:

\[ V = 4 \cdot 2 \sqrt[3]{2} = 8 \sqrt[3]{2} \]

Therefore, the wind velocity when the pressure on 4 square feet of sail is 32 pounds is:

\[ \boxed{8\sqrt[3]{2}} \]

[Assistant]
## Step 1: Understand the given problem and the student's solution
The problem states that the pressure \( P \) exerted by wind on a sail varies jointly as the area \( A \) of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity \( V \), given by \( P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \), where \( k \) is a constant of proportionality. The student is given two sets of conditions: (1) \( V = 8 \) mph, \( A = 2 \) sq ft, \( P = 4 \) pounds, and (2) \( A = 4 \) sq ft, \( P = 32 \) pounds, and is asked to find \( V \) for the second condition.

## Step 2: Verify the student's calculation for \( k \)
The student substitutes the given values into the equation to find \( k \): \( 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 8^3 \). Calculating \( 8^3 = 512 \), the equation becomes \( 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 512 \) or \( 4 = 1024k \), yielding \( k = \frac{4}{1024} = \frac{1}{256} \). This step is correct.

## Step 3: Verify the student's use of \( k \) to find \( V \) for the second condition
Using \( k = \frac{1}{256} \), \( P = 32 \) pounds, and \( A = 4 \) square feet, the student substitutes these into \( P = \frac{1}{256} \cdot A \cdot V^3 \) to get \( 32 = \frac{1}{256} \cdot 4 \cdot V^3 \). Simplifying, \( 32 = \frac{4}{256} \cdot V^3 \) or \( 32 = \frac{1}{64} \cdot V^3 \), which gives \( V^3 = 32 \cdot 64 = 2048 \). This step is correct.

## Step 4: Evaluate the student's calculation of \( V \)
The student calculates \( V = \sqrt[3]{2048} \) and simplifies it. To verify, we directly calculate \( \sqrt[3]{2048} \). Recognizing that \( 2048 = 2^{11} \), we have \( V = \sqrt[3]{2^{11}} = 2^{11/3} = 2^{3 + 2/3} = 2^3 \cdot 2^{2/3} = 8 \cdot \sqrt[3]{2^2} = 8 \cdot \sqrt[3]{4} \). The student's simplification to \( 8\sqrt[3]{2} \) is incorrect because \( \sqrt[3]{2048} = \sqrt[3]{2^{11}} = 2^{11/3} \), and \( 2^{11/3} = 8\sqrt[3]{4} \), not \( 8\sqrt[3]{2} \).

## Step 5: Correct the student's final answer
\( V = \sqrt[3]{2048} \). Since \( 2048 = 2^{11} \), \( V = 2^{11/3} \). Calculating the cube root of 2048 directly: \( \sqrt[3]{2048} \approx 12.70 \) (using a calculator). However, we need to simplify it correctly. \( 2^{11/3} = (2^3)^{11/9} \) is not the right simplification here; instead, we directly calculate or simplify \( \sqrt[3]{2048} \) to \( 8\sqrt[3]{4} \) because \( 2048 = 8^3 \times 4 \), hence \( V = 8\sqrt[3]{4} \).

## Step 6: Provide the correct final answer
The correct calculation directly from \( V = \sqrt[3]{2048} \) yields \( V = 12.699 \) (approximately), but the exact value is \( 8\sqrt[3]{4} \).

The final answer is: $\boxed{8\sqrt[3]{4}}$

Question:
The pressure P exerted by wind on a sail varies jointly as the area A of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity V. When the velocity is 8 miles per hour, the pressure on a sail of 2 square feet is 4 pounds. Find the wind velocity when the pressure on 4 square feet of sail is 32 pounds.

Please, reason step by step and put your final answer within \boxed{}.

Solution:
To solve the problem, we start by translating the given information into mathematical equations. The pressure \( P \) exerted by wind on a sail varies jointly as the area \( A \) of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity \( V \). This can be expressed mathematically as:

\[ P = kA^3V \]

where \( k \) is a constant of proportionality.

We are given that when the velocity \( V \) is 8 miles per hour, the pressure \( P \) on a sail of 2 square feet is 4 pounds. We can use this information to find the value of \( k \). Substituting \( V = 8 \) and \( A = 2 \) into the equation, we get:

\[ 4 = k \cdot 2^3 \cdot 8 \]

Simplifying the right-hand side, we have:

\[ 4 = k \cdot 8 \cdot 8 \]
\[ 4 = k \cdot 64 \]
\[ k = \frac{4}{64} \]
\[ k = \frac{1}{16} \]

Now that we have the value of \( k \), we can use it to find the wind velocity \( V \) when the pressure \( P \) on a sail of 4 square feet is 32 pounds. Substituting \( P = 32 \) and \( k = \frac{1}{16} \) into the equation \( P = kA^3V \), we get:

\[ 32 = \frac{1}{16} \cdot A^3 \cdot V \]

Solving for \( V \), we first isolate \( A^3 \):

\[ A^3 = \frac{32 \cdot 16}{V} \]
\[ A^3 = \frac{512}{V} \]

Taking the cube root of both sides, we get:

\[ A = \sqrt[3]{\frac{512}{V}} \]

Since \( A \) is the area of the sail, it must be a positive value, so \( V \) must be less than 512. However, the exact value of \( V \) is not needed to find the relationship between \( V \) and \( A \). We can see that \( A = \sqrt[3]{\frac{512}{V}} \) is the key to finding the wind velocity. Therefore, we can use this relationship to express \( V \) in terms of \( A \):

\[ V = \left( \frac{512}{A} \right)^3 \]

Now, we need to find the wind velocity when the pressure on a sail of 4 square feet is 32 pounds. Substituting \( P = 32 \) and \( V = 4 \) into the equation \( P = kA^3V \), we get:

\[ 32 = \frac{1}{16} \cdot A^3 \cdot 4 \]

Simplifying, we have:

\[ 32 = \frac{4A^3}{16} \]
\[ 32 = \frac{A^3}{4} \]
\[ A^3 = 128 \]

Taking the cube root of both sides, we get:

\[ A = \sqrt[3]{128} \]
\[ A = 4 \]

Now, substituting \( A = 4 \) back into the expression for \( V \):

\[ V = \left( \frac{512}{4} \right)^3 \]
\[ V = 128^3 \]
\[ V = 2097152 \]

Therefore, the wind velocity when the pressure on 4 square feet of sail is 32 pounds is:

\[ \boxed{2097152} \] miles per hour.

[Assistant]
## Step 1: Understand the given problem and the student's solution
The problem states that the pressure \( P \) exerted by wind on a sail varies jointly as the area \( A \) of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity \( V \), given by \( P = kAV^3 \), where \( k \) is a constant of proportionality. The student is given two sets of conditions: (1) \( V = 8 \) mph, \( A = 2 \) sq ft, \( P = 4 \) pounds, and (2) \( A = 4 \) sq ft, \( P = 32 \) pounds, and is asked to find \( V \) for the second condition.

## Step 2: Identify the key mathematical concepts and correct approach
The key concept here is the joint variation, which is represented by the equation \( P = kAV^3 \). To solve the problem, we first need to find \( k \) using the given initial conditions and then use it to find \( V \) under the new conditions.

## Step 3: Check the student's initial steps for finding \( k \)
The student starts with \( P = kA^3V \), which is incorrect because the correct formula should be \( P = kAV^3 \), not \( P = kA^3V \). Let's correct this and proceed with the given information to find \( k \). Using \( P = kAV^3 \) and the initial conditions (\( V = 8 \), \( A = 2 \), \( P = 4 \)), we substitute these values into the equation to get \( 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 8^3 \).

## Step 4: Calculate \( k \) using the correct formula
\[ 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 512 \]
\[ 4 = k \cdot 1024 \]
\[ k = \frac{4}{1024} \]
\[ k = \frac{1}{256} \]

## Step 5: Use \( k \) to find \( V \) when \( P = 32 \) and \( A = 4 \)
Substitute \( P = 32 \), \( A = 4 \), and \( k = \frac{1}{256} \) into \( P = kAV^3 \):
\[ 32 = \frac{1}{256} \cdot 4 \cdot V^3 \]
\[ 32 = \frac{4V^3}{256} \]
\[ 32 = \frac{V^3}{64} \]
\[ V^3 = 32 \times 64 \]
\[ V^3 = 2048 \]
\[ V = \sqrt[3]{2048} \]
\[ V = 12.7 \] (approximately), since \( 2048 = 2^{11} \) and \( \sqrt[3]{2^{11}} = 2^{11/3} \approx 12.7 \).

## Step 6: Evaluate the student's solution for errors
The student's initial equation is incorrect; it should be \( P = kAV^3 \) instead of \( P = kA^3V \). The subsequent steps are based on this incorrect equation, leading to an incorrect solution.

## Step 7: Provide the correct solution
Using the correct value of \( k = \frac{1}{256} \) and the equation \( P = kAV^3 \), we found \( V \) when \( P = 32 \) and \( A = 4 \) to be approximately \( 12.7 \) mph.

Question:
The pressure P exerted by wind on a sail varies jointly as the area A of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity V. When the velocity is 8 miles per hour, the pressure on a sail of 2 square feet is 4 pounds. Find the wind velocity when the pressure on 4 square feet of sail is 32 pounds.

Please, reason step by step and put your final answer within \boxed{}.

Solution:
To solve this problem, we start with the given information that the pressure \( P \) exerted by wind on a sail varies jointly as the area \( A \) of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity \( V \). This can be expressed mathematically as:

\[ P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \]

where \( k \) is a constant of proportionality.

We are given that when the velocity \( V \) is 8 miles per hour, the pressure \( P \) on a sail of 2 square feet is 4 pounds. We can use this information to find the value of \( k \):

\[ 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 8^3 \]

First, calculate \( 8^3 \):

\[ 8^3 = 512 \]

So the equation becomes:

\[ 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 512 \]

Simplify the right-hand side:

\[ 4 = k \cdot 1024 \]

Solving for \( k \):

\[ k = \frac{4}{1024} = \frac{1}{256} \]

Now that we have the value of \( k \), we can use it to find the wind velocity \( V \) when the pressure \( P \) on a sail of 4 square feet is 32 pounds. We substitute \( P = 32 \) pounds, \( A = 4 \) square feet, and \( k = \frac{1}{256} \) into the equation:

\[ 32 = \frac{1}{256} \cdot 4 \cdot V^3 \]

Simplify the right-hand side:

\[ 32 = \frac{4}{256} \cdot V^3 \]

\[ 32 = \frac{1}{64} \cdot V^3 \]

To solve for \( V^3 \), multiply both sides by 64:

\[ 32 \cdot 64 = V^3 \]

\[ 2048 = V^3 \]

Take the cube root of both sides:

\[ V = \sqrt[3]{2048} \]

Since \( 2048 = 16 \cdot 128 = 2^5 \cdot 128 \), we have:

\[ V = \sqrt[3]{2^5 \cdot 128} = 2^{5/3} \cdot 128^{1/3} \]

We know that \( 128 = 2^7 \), so:

\[ 128^{1/3} = (2^7)^{1/3} = 2^{7/3} \]

Thus:

\[ V = 2^{5/3} \cdot 2^{7/3} = 2^{(5/3 + 7/3)} = 2^8 = 256 \]

So, the wind velocity when the pressure on 4 square feet of sail is 32 pounds is:

\[ \boxed{256} \] miles per hour.

## Step 1: Understand the given problem and the student's solution
The problem states that the pressure \( P \) exerted by wind on a sail varies jointly as the area \( A \) of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity \( V \), given by \( P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \). We need to verify the student's solution to find the wind velocity when the pressure on 4 square feet of sail is 32 pounds.

## Step 2: Identify the key mathematical concepts and correct approach
The key concept here is the joint variation formula \( P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \), where \( k \) is a constant. The correct approach involves using given values to find \( k \) and then using \( k \) to solve for \( V \) under different conditions.

## Step 3: Check each step of the student's solution
1. The student starts with \( P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \), which is correct.
2. The student uses the given \( P = 4 \), \( A = 2 \), and \( V = 8 \) to find \( k \): \( 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 8^3 \). Calculating \( 8^3 = 512 \), the equation becomes \( 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 512 \) or \( 4 = k \cdot 1024 \), leading to \( k = \frac{4}{1024} = \frac{1}{256} \), which is correct.
3. The student then substitutes \( P = 32 \), \( A = 4 \), and \( k = \frac{1}{256} \) into the equation to find \( V \): \( 32 = \frac{1}{256} \cdot 4 \cdot V^3 \), simplifying to \( 32 = \frac{1}{64} \cdot V^3 \), which is correct.
4. Solving for \( V^3 \) gives \( 32 \cdot 64 = V^3 \), resulting in \( V^3 = 2048 \), which is correct.
5. The student then finds \( V = \sqrt[3]{2048} \). To simplify, we directly calculate \( \sqrt[3]{2048} \) without breaking it down further as the student did.

## Step 4: Simplify \( \sqrt[3]{2048} \) to find \( V \)
\( 2048 = 2^{11} \), so \( \sqrt[3]{2048} = \sqrt[3]{2^{11}} = 2^{11/3} \). To simplify this into a more recognizable form: \( 2^{11/3} = 2^{3 + 2/3} = 2^3 \cdot 2^{2/3} = 8 \cdot \sqrt[3]{2^2} = 8 \cdot \sqrt[3]{4} \). Calculating \( \sqrt[3]{4} \) gives approximately \( 1.5874 \), so \( V \approx 8 \cdot 1.5874 = 12.6992 \) miles per hour.

## Step 5: Evaluate the student's final answer
The student's final step involves calculating \( V \) directly from \( \sqrt[3]{2048} \) but incorrectly simplifies it to \( 256 \) by misinterpreting the cube root of \( 2048 \). The correct calculation directly yields \( V = \sqrt[3]{2048} \approx 12.7 \) miles per hour.

## Step 6: Provide the correct solution
Given \( V^3 = 2048 \), \( V = \sqrt[3]{2048} \approx 12.7 \) miles per hour.

The final answer is: $\boxed{12.7}$ [END]

The pressure P exerted by wind on a sail varies jointly as the area A of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity V. When the velocity is 8 miles per hour, the pressure on a sail of 2 square feet is 4 pounds. Find the wind velocity when the pressure on 4 square feet of sail is 32 pounds.

Please, reason step by step and put your final answer within \boxed{}.

Solution:
To solve this problem, we start with the given information that the pressure \( P \) exerted by wind on a sail varies jointly as the area \( A \) of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity \( V \). This relationship can be expressed mathematically as:

\[ P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \]

where \( k \) is a constant of proportionality. We are given that when the wind velocity \( V \) is 8 miles per hour, the pressure \( P \) on a sail of 2 square feet is 4 pounds. We can use this information to find the value of \( k \).

First, substitute the given values into the equation:

\[ 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot V^3 \]

Solving for \( k \):

\[ k = \frac{4}{2 \cdot V^3} = \frac{2}{V^3} \]

Now, we need to find the wind velocity \( V \) when the pressure \( P \) on a sail of 4 square feet is 32 pounds. Substitute \( P = 32 \) pounds and \( A = 4 \) square feet into the equation:

\[ 32 = \frac{2}{V^3} \cdot 4 \cdot V^3 \]

Simplify the right-hand side of the equation:

\[ 32 = \frac{8}{V} \]

To solve for \( V \), multiply both sides by \( V \):

\[ 32V = 8 \]

Divide both sides by 32:

\[ V = \frac{8}{32} = \frac{1}{4} \]

Therefore, the wind velocity when the pressure on 4 square feet of sail is 32 pounds is:

\[ \boxed{\frac{1}{4} \text{ miles per hour}} \]

[Assistant]
## Step 1: Understand the given problem and the student's solution
The problem states that the pressure \( P \) exerted by wind on a sail varies jointly as the area \( A \) of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity \( V \), given by \( P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \), where \( k \) is a constant of proportionality. The student is given two sets of conditions: (1) \( V = 8 \) mph, \( A = 2 \) sq ft, \( P = 4 \) pounds, and (2) \( A = 4 \) sq ft, \( P = 32 \) pounds, and is asked to find \( V \) for the second condition.

## Step 2: Identify the key mathematical concepts and correct approach
The key concept here is the joint variation formula \( P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \). To solve the problem, we first need to find \( k \) using the given initial conditions and then use \( k \) to find \( V \) under the second set of conditions.

## Step 3: Check the student's calculation for finding \( k \)
Given \( P = 4 \), \( A = 2 \), and \( V = 8 \), substituting into \( P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \) gives:
\[ 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot (8)^3 \]
\[ 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 512 \]
\[ 4 = k \cdot 1024 \]
\[ k = \frac{4}{1024} = \frac{1}{256} \]
The student incorrectly calculated \( k \) as \( \frac{2}{V^3} \) without substituting \( V = 8 \) into the equation.

## Step 4: Analyze the student's solution for \( V \) when \( P = 32 \) and \( A = 4 \)
The student substituted \( P = 32 \) and \( A = 4 \) into the equation \( P = \frac{2}{V^3} \cdot A \cdot V^3 \), which simplifies to \( 32 = \frac{8}{V} \), leading to \( V = \frac{1}{4} \) mph. However, this step is based on an incorrect calculation of \( k \) and an incorrect simplification.

## Step 5: Correctly solve for \( k \) and then for \( V \)
First, correctly find \( k \) using the initial conditions:
\[ 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot (8)^3 \]
\[ k = \frac{4}{2 \cdot 512} = \frac{1}{256} \]
Then, use \( k \) to find \( V \) when \( P = 32 \) and \( A = 4 \):
\[ 32 = \frac{1}{256} \cdot 4 \cdot V^3 \]
\[ 32 = \frac{4}{256} \cdot V^3 \]
\[ 32 = \frac{1}{64} \cdot V^3 \]
\[ 32 \cdot 64 = V^3 \]
\[ 2048 = V^3 \]
\[ V = \sqrt[3]{2048} \]
\[ V = 12.7 \, \text{mph} \] (approximately), since \( 2048 = 2^{11} \) and \( \sqrt[3]{2^{11}} = 2^{11/3} \approx 2^{3.67} \approx 12.7 \).

## Step 6: Compare the student's answer with the correct solution
The student's final answer is \( \boxed{\frac{1}{4}} \), which is incorrect based on the miscalculation of \( k \) and the subsequent steps.

Please critique whether the following solution to the question is correct.

Question:
The pressure P exerted by wind on a sail varies jointly as the area A of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity V. When the velocity is 8 miles per hour, the pressure on a sail of 2 square feet is 4 pounds. Find the wind velocity when the pressure on 4 square feet of sail is 32 pounds.

Please, reason step by step and put your final answer within \boxed{}.

Solution:
To solve this problem, we need to use the given information and the relationship between pressure, area, and wind velocity. The relationship is given by the equation:

\[ P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \]

where:
- \( P \) is the pressure,
- \( A \) is the area of the sail,
- \( V \) is the wind velocity,
- \( k \) is a constant of proportionality.

We are given two pieces of information:
1. When the wind velocity is 8 miles per hour, the pressure on a sail of 2 square feet is 4 pounds.
2. When the wind velocity is 4 miles per hour, the pressure on a sail of 4 square feet is 32 pounds.

First, we use the first piece of information to find the constant \( k \). We know that when \( A = 2 \) square feet and \( P = 4 \) pounds, we can substitute these values into the equation:

\[ 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot V^3 \]

Solving for \( k \), we get:

\[ k = \frac{4}{2V^3} = \frac{2}{V^3} \]

Now, we use the second piece of information to find the wind velocity when the pressure on a sail of 4 square feet is 32 pounds. We substitute \( A = 4 \) square feet, \( P = 32 \) pounds, and \( k = \frac{2}{V^3} \) into the equation:

\[ 32 = \frac{2}{V^3} \cdot 4 \cdot V^3 \]

Simplifying the right side of the equation:

\[ 32 = \frac{2 \cdot 4 \cdot V^3}{V^3} \]
\[ 32 = 8 \]

This confirms our equation is consistent. Now, we need to find the wind velocity \( V \) when \( A = 4 \) square feet and \( P = 32 \) pounds. We substitute these values into the equation:

\[ 32 = \frac{2}{V^3} \cdot 4 \cdot V^3 \]

Simplifying the right side of the equation:

\[ 32 = \frac{2 \cdot 4 \cdot V^3}{V^3} \]
\[ 32 = 8 \]

This confirms our equation is consistent. To find \( V \), we solve for \( V^3 \):

\[ V^3 = \frac{32}{2} = 16 \]

Taking the cube root of both sides:

\[ V = \sqrt[3]{16} \]

So, the wind velocity when the pressure on a sail of 4 square feet is 32 pounds is:

\[ \boxed{\sqrt[3]{16}} \]

[Assistant]
## Step 1: Understand the given problem and the relationship between pressure, area, and wind velocity.
The problem states that the pressure $P$ exerted by wind on a sail varies jointly as the area $A$ of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity $V$, given by $P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3$, where $k$ is a constant of proportionality.

## Step 2: Identify the given information and the information to be found.
Given: When $V = 8$ miles per hour, $A = 2$ square feet, $P = 4$ pounds. We need to find $V$ when $A = 4$ square feet and $P = 32$ pounds.

## Step 3: Check the student's solution step by step to identify any errors or incorrect assumptions.
The student starts with the correct equation $P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3$ and uses the given information to find $k$. Substituting $P = 4$, $A = 2$, and $V = 8$ into the equation gives $4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 8^3$. Solving for $k$ yields $k = \frac{4}{2 \cdot 512} = \frac{4}{1024} = \frac{1}{256}$.

## Step 4: Analyze the student's calculation for $k$.
The student's calculation for $k$ is $k = \frac{2}{V^3}$, which is incorrect because it doesn't use the given $V = 8$ to find $k$. The correct calculation should be $k = \frac{4}{2 \cdot 8^3} = \frac{1}{256}$.

## Step 5: Evaluate the student's use of the second piece of information.
The student incorrectly states the second given condition as "When the wind velocity is 4 miles per hour, the pressure on a sail of 4 square feet is 32 pounds," which is not given. The actual task is to find $V$ when $P = 32$ and $A = 4$.

## Step 6: Correctly apply the given information to find $k$ and then $V$.
First, find $k$ using $P = 4$, $A = 2$, and $V = 8$: $4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 8^3$. So, $k = \frac{4}{2 \cdot 512} = \frac{1}{256}$.

## Step 7: Use $k$ to find $V$ when $P = 32$ and $A = 4$.
Substitute $P = 32$, $A = 4$, and $k = \frac{1}{256}$ into $P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3$: $32 = \frac{1}{256} \cdot 4 \cdot V^3$. Simplifying gives $32 = \frac{4V^3}{256}$.

## Step 8: Solve for $V$.
$32 = \frac{V^3}{64}$ implies $V^3 = 32 \times 64 = 2048$. So, $V = \sqrt[3]{2048}$.

## Step 9: Calculate $\sqrt[3]{2048}$.
$\sqrt[3]{2048} = \sqrt[3]{2^{11}} = 2^{11/3} = 2^{3 + 2/3} = 8\sqrt[3]{2^2} = 8\sqrt[3]{4}$.

## Step 10: Evaluate if the student's final answer is correct.
The student's final answer is $\boxed{\sqrt[3]{16}}$, which is not the correct solution based on the steps provided.

## Step 11: Provide the correct final answer.
$V = \sqrt[3]{2048} = 8\sqrt[3]{4}$.

The final answer is: $\boxed{8\sqrt[3]{4}}$

Question:
The pressure P exerted by wind on a sail varies jointly as the area A of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity V. When the velocity is 8 miles per hour, the pressure on a sail of 2 square feet is 4 pounds. Find the wind velocity when the pressure on 4 square feet of sail is 32 pounds.

Please, reason step by step and put your final answer within \boxed{}.

Solution:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the wind velocity \( V \) when the pressure \( P \) on a sail of 4 square feet is 32 pounds, given that the pressure varies jointly with the area \( A \) of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity \( V \).

The relationship given is:
\[ P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \]
where \( k \) is a constant of proportionality.

We are given:
\[ P = 4 \text{ pounds} \]
\[ A = 2 \text{ square feet} \]
\[ V = 8 \text{ miles per hour} \]

First, we need to find the constant \( k \). Using the given values:
\[ 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 8^3 \]

Calculate \( 8^3 \):
\[ 8^3 = 512 \]

So the equation becomes:
\[ 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 512 \]
\[ 4 = k \cdot 1024 \]
\[ k = \frac{4}{1024} = \frac{1}{256} \]

Now that we have the constant \( k \), we can use it to find the wind velocity \( V \) when the pressure on a sail of 4 square feet is 32 pounds:
\[ 32 = \frac{1}{256} \cdot 4 \cdot V^3 \]
\[ 32 = \frac{4V^3}{256} \]
\[ 32 = \frac{V^3}{64} \]
\[ V^3 = 32 \cdot 64 \]
\[ V^3 = 2048 \]
\[ V = \sqrt[3]{2048} \]

Since \( 2048 = 16 \cdot 128 \), we can simplify:
\[ V = \sqrt[3]{16 \cdot 128} = \sqrt[3]{2^6 \cdot 128} = \sqrt[3]{2^6 \cdot 2^7} = \sqrt[3]{2^13} = 2 \sqrt[3]{2^5} = 2 \cdot 2^{5/3} = 2^{1+5/3} = 2^{8/3} \]

Therefore, the wind velocity when the pressure on 4 square feet of sail is 32 pounds is:
\[ \boxed{2^{8/3}} \]

[Assistant]
## Step 1: Understand the given problem and the student's solution
The problem states that the pressure \( P \) exerted by wind on a sail varies jointly as the area \( A \) of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity \( V \), given by \( P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \), where \( k \) is a constant of proportionality. The student is given initial conditions (\( P = 4 \) pounds, \( A = 2 \) square feet, \( V = 8 \) miles per hour) to find \( k \), and then uses \( k \) to find \( V \) when \( P = 32 \) pounds and \( A = 4 \) square feet.

## Step 2: Check the student's calculation for \( k \)
The student calculates \( k \) using the given initial conditions: \( 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 8^3 \). First, \( 8^3 = 512 \), so \( 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 512 \) simplifies to \( 4 = k \cdot 1024 \), and thus \( k = \frac{4}{1024} = \frac{1}{256} \). This step is correct.

## Step 3: Verify the student's solution for \( V \) when \( P = 32 \) pounds and \( A = 4 \) square feet
Using \( k = \frac{1}{256} \), the equation becomes \( 32 = \frac{1}{256} \cdot 4 \cdot V^3 \). Simplifying, we get \( 32 = \frac{4V^3}{256} \), which further simplifies to \( 32 = \frac{V^3}{64} \). Multiplying both sides by 64 gives \( V^3 = 32 \cdot 64 = 2048 \). So, \( V = \sqrt[3]{2048} \). This step is also correct.

## Step 4: Evaluate the student's simplification of \( \sqrt[3]{2048} \)
The student simplifies \( \sqrt[3]{2048} \) by recognizing that \( 2048 = 2^{11} \) because \( 2^{10} = 1024 \) and \( 2^{11} = 2048 \). Thus, \( V = \sqrt[3]{2^{11}} = 2^{11/3} \). The student's simplification to \( 2^{8/3} \) is incorrect because it misinterprets the cube root of 2048.

## Step 5: Correctly simplify \( \sqrt[3]{2048} \)
\( 2048 = 2^{11} \), so \( V = \sqrt[3]{2^{11}} = 2^{11/3} \). To simplify this into a more understandable form, we can express it as \( 2^{3 + 2/3} = 2^3 \cdot 2^{2/3} = 8 \cdot \sqrt[3]{2^2} = 8 \cdot \sqrt[3]{4} \). Thus, the correct value for \( V \) is \( 8\sqrt[3]{4} \) or simply \( 2^{11/3} \).

## Step 6: Calculate the numerical value of \( 2^{11/3} \)
\( 2^{11/3} = (2^3)^{11/9} \) is not the correct way to simplify; instead, we directly calculate \( 2^{11/3} \) or simplify it as shown before. \( 2^{11/3} \approx 8 \cdot 1.5874 \approx 12.7 \) miles per hour.

## Step 7: Compare the student's final answer with the correct solution
The student's final answer is \( \boxed{2^{8/3}} \), which is incorrect. The correct simplification is \( V = 2^{11/3} \) or approximately \( 8\sqrt[3]{4} \).

The final answer is: $\boxed{2^{11/3}}$

Question:
The pressure P exerted by wind on a sail varies jointly as the area A of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity V. When the velocity is 8 miles per hour, the pressure on a sail of 2 square feet is 4 pounds. Find the wind velocity when the pressure on 4 square feet of sail is 32 pounds.

Please, reason step by step and put your final answer within \boxed{}.

Solution:
To solve this problem, we need to set up the relationship between the pressure \( P \), the area \( A \) of the sail, and the wind's velocity \( V \) using the given information.

1. **Write down the relationship:**
   The pressure \( P \) varies jointly as the area \( A \) and the cube of the wind's velocity \( V \). This can be expressed as:
   \[
   P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3
   \]
   where \( k \) is a constant of proportionality.

2. **Determine the constant \( k \) using the given values:**
   We are given that when \( V = 8 \) miles per hour, \( A = 2 \) square feet, and \( P = 4 \) pounds. Substitute these values into the equation:
   \[
   4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 8^3
   \]
   Calculate \( 8^3 \):
   \[
   8^3 = 512
   \]
   So the equation becomes:
   \[
   4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 512
   \]
   Simplify the right-hand side:
   \[
   4 = k \cdot 1024
   \]
   Solve for \( k \):
   \[
   k = \frac{4}{1024} = \frac{1}{256}
   \]

3. **Find the wind velocity when the pressure on 4 square feet of sail is 32 pounds:**
   Now that we have the constant \( k \), we can use it to find the wind velocity \( V \) when the pressure \( P \) is 32 pounds and the area \( A \) is 4 square feet. Substitute \( P = 32 \) and \( A = 4 \) into the equation:
   \[
   32 = \frac{1}{256} \cdot 4 \cdot V^3
   \]
   Simplify the right-hand side:
   \[
   32 = \frac{4V^3}{256}
   \]
   Multiply both sides by 256 to clear the fraction:
   \[
   32 \cdot 256 = 4V^3
   \]
   Simplify:
   \[
   8192 = 4V^3
   \]
   Solve for \( V^3 \):
   \[
   V^3 = \frac{8192}{4} = 2048
   \]
   Take the cube root of both sides to solve for \( V \):
   \[
   V = \sqrt[3]{2048}
   \]
   Since \( 2048 = 2^{11} \), we have:
   \[
   V = \sqrt[3]{2^{11}} = 2^{\frac{11}{3}}
   \]
   Therefore, the wind velocity when the pressure on 4 square feet of sail is 32 pounds is:
   \[
   \boxed{2^{\frac{11}{3}} \text{ miles per hour}}
   \]

## Step 1: Understand the given problem and the student's solution
The problem states that the pressure \( P \) exerted by wind on a sail varies jointly as the area \( A \) of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity \( V \). The given equation is \( P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \), where \( k \) is a constant of proportionality. The student is given that when \( V = 8 \) miles per hour, \( A = 2 \) square feet, and \( P = 4 \) pounds, and is asked to find \( V \) when \( P = 32 \) pounds and \( A = 4 \) square feet.

## Step 2: Check the student's steps for determining the constant \( k \)
The student substitutes \( V = 8 \), \( A = 2 \), and \( P = 4 \) into the equation \( P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \) to find \( k \).
\[ 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 8^3 \]
\[ 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 512 \]
\[ 4 = k \cdot 1024 \]
\[ k = \frac{4}{1024} = \frac{1}{256} \]
This step is correct.

## Step 3: Verify the student's calculation for \( V \) when \( P = 32 \) and \( A = 4 \)
Substitute \( P = 32 \), \( A = 4 \), and \( k = \frac{1}{256} \) into the equation:
\[ 32 = \frac{1}{256} \cdot 4 \cdot V^3 \]
\[ 32 = \frac{4V^3}{256} \]
\[ 32 \cdot 256 = 4V^3 \]
\[ 8192 = 4V^3 \]
\[ V^3 = \frac{8192}{4} = 2048 \]
\[ V = \sqrt[3]{2048} \]
The student correctly calculates \( V \) as \( \sqrt[3]{2048} \) and simplifies it to \( 2^{\frac{11}{3}} \).

## Step 4: Evaluate the final answer
To check if \( 2^{\frac{11}{3}} \) is the correct numerical value, we calculate it:
\[ 2^{\frac{11}{3}} = (2^3)^{\frac{11}{9}} = 8^{\frac{11}{9}} \approx 8^{1.222} \]
\[ 2^{11} = 2048 \]
\[ \sqrt[3]{2048} = 12.699 \]
So, \( V \approx 12.7 \) miles per hour.

## Step 5: Check if the student's final answer is correctly represented
The student's final answer is \( \boxed{2^{\frac{11}{3}} \text{ miles per hour}} \). To verify its correctness, we need to ensure that \( 2^{\frac{11}{3}} \) is indeed the correct solution to the equation \( V = \sqrt[3]{2048} \). Since \( 2048 = 2^{11} \), \( \sqrt[3]{2048} = \sqrt[3]{2^{11}} = 2^{\frac{11}{3}} \), which is mathematically correct.

## Step 6: Conclusion
The student's solution is mathematically correct. The steps followed are appropriate for the problem, and the calculations are accurate.

The final answer is: $\boxed{2^{\frac{11}{3}}}$

Please critique whether the following solution to the question is correct.

Question:
The pressure P exerted by wind on a sail varies jointly as the area A of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity V. When the velocity is 8 miles per hour, the pressure on a sail of 2 square feet is 4 pounds. Find the wind velocity when the pressure on 4 square feet of sail is 32 pounds.

Please, reason step by step and put your final answer within \boxed{}.

Solution:
To solve this problem, we need to use the given information about the pressure \( P \) and the area \( A \) of the sail, as well as the relationship between the velocity \( V \) of the wind and the pressure. The relationship is given by the equation:

\[ P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \]

where \( k \) is a constant. We are given that when \( V = 8 \) miles per hour, \( A = 2 \) square feet, and \( P = 4 \) pounds. We can use this information to find the value of \( k \).

First, substitute the given values into the equation:

\[ 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot V^3 \]

Solving for \( k \):

\[ k = \frac{4}{2 \cdot V^3} = \frac{2}{V^3} \]

Now that we have the value of \( k \), we can use it to find the wind velocity when the pressure on a sail of 4 square feet is 32 pounds. Substitute \( P = 32 \) pounds and \( k = \frac{2}{V^3} \) into the equation:

\[ 32 = \frac{2}{V^3} \cdot A \cdot V^3 \]

Simplify the equation:

\[ 32 = 2 \cdot A \]

Solving for \( A \):

\[ A = \frac{32}{2} = 16 \text{ square feet} \]

Since \( A = 16 \) square feet, we can find the wind velocity \( V \) by using the relationship \( k = \frac{2}{V^3} \):

\[ k = \frac{2}{V^3} \]

We know \( k = 4 \) pounds per square foot, so we can substitute \( k \) into the equation and solve for \( V \):

\[ 4 = \frac{2}{V^3} \]

\[ V^3 = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2} \]

\[ V = \sqrt[3]{\frac{1}{2}} \]

\[ V = \frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{2}} \]

Therefore, the wind velocity when the pressure on 4 square feet of sail is 32 pounds is:

\[ \boxed{\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{2}}} \]

[Assistant]
## Step 1: Understand the given problem and the relationship between pressure P, area A, and wind velocity V.
The problem states that the pressure \( P \) exerted by wind on a sail varies jointly as the area \( A \) of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity \( V \), given by \( P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \), where \( k \) is a constant.

## Step 2: Identify the given values and the values to be found.
Given: \( V = 8 \) miles per hour, \( A = 2 \) square feet, \( P = 4 \) pounds. To be found: \( V \) when \( A = 4 \) square feet and \( P = 32 \) pounds.

## Step 3: Check the student's initial steps to find the constant \( k \).
The student starts with \( 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot V^3 \) and then substitutes \( V = 8 \) to find \( k \). Let's correct and simplify this step: \( 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot (8)^3 \), so \( 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 512 \), which simplifies to \( 4 = k \cdot 1024 \). Solving for \( k \) gives \( k = \frac{4}{1024} = \frac{1}{256} \).

## Step 4: Analyze the student's use of \( k \) to find \( V \) when \( P = 32 \) pounds and \( A = 4 \) square feet.
The student incorrectly simplifies the equation after substituting \( P = 32 \), \( A = 4 \), and \( k = \frac{2}{V^3} \) into \( P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \), resulting in an incorrect simplification and solution.

## Step 5: Correctly solve for \( V \) using the given \( P = 32 \) pounds and \( A = 4 \) square feet with the correctly found \( k \).
First, correctly find \( k \) using the initial conditions: \( 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 8^3 \), so \( k = \frac{4}{2 \cdot 512} = \frac{1}{256} \). Then, use \( P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \) with \( P = 32 \) and \( A = 4 \): \( 32 = \frac{1}{256} \cdot 4 \cdot V^3 \). Simplify to find \( V \): \( 32 = \frac{4}{256} \cdot V^3 \), which simplifies to \( 32 = \frac{1}{64} \cdot V^3 \). Therefore, \( V^3 = 32 \times 64 = 2048 \).

## Step 6: Calculate \( V \) from \( V^3 = 2048 \).
\( V = \sqrt[3]{2048} \). Since \( 2048 = 2^{11} \), \( V = \sqrt[3]{2^{11}} = 2^{11/3} = 2^{3 + 2/3} = 2^3 \cdot 2^{2/3} = 8 \cdot \sqrt[3]{4} \).

## Step 7: Compute the numerical value of \( V \).
\( V = 8 \cdot \sqrt[3]{4} \). Calculating \( \sqrt[3]{4} \) gives approximately \( 1.5874 \), so \( V \approx 8 \cdot 1.5874 = 12.6992 \) miles per hour.

## Step 8: Evaluate the student's final answer.
The student's final answer is \( \boxed{\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{2}}} \), which is incorrect based on the miscalculations identified.

The final answer is: $\boxed{12.7}$ [END]Conclusion: wrong

Please critique whether the following solution to the question is correct.

Question:
The pressure P exerted by wind on a sail varies jointly as the area A of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity V. When the velocity is 8 miles per hour, the pressure on a sail of 2 square feet is 4 pounds. Find the wind velocity when the pressure on 4 square feet of sail is 32 pounds.

Please, reason step by step and put your final answer within \boxed{}.

Solution:
To solve this problem, we start by understanding the given information and setting up the relationship between the pressure \( P \), the area \( A \), and the wind velocity \( V \).

The relationship given is:
\[ P \propto A \times V^3 \]
This can be written as:
\[ P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \]
where \( k \) is a constant of proportionality.

We are given that when the wind velocity \( V \) is 8 miles per hour, the pressure on a sail of 2 square feet is 4 pounds. Using this information, we can find the constant \( k \).

Substitute the given values into the equation:
\[ 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 8^3 \]

Calculate \( 8^3 \):
\[ 8^3 = 8 \times 8 \times 8 = 512 \]

Now substitute back into the equation:
\[ 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 512 \]

Simplify the right-hand side:
\[ 4 = k \cdot 1024 \]

Solve for \( k \):
\[ k = \frac{4}{1024} = \frac{1}{256} \]

Now that we have the constant \( k \), we can use it to find the wind velocity \( V \) when the pressure on a sail of 4 square feet is 32 pounds.

Substitute the given pressure \( P = 32 \) pounds and the constant \( k = \frac{1}{256} \) into the equation:
\[ 32 = \frac{1}{256} \cdot 4 \cdot V^3 \]

Simplify the right-hand side:
\[ 32 = \frac{4}{256} \cdot V^3 \]

Simplify \( \frac{4}{256} \):
\[ \frac{4}{256} = \frac{1}{64} \]

So the equation becomes:
\[ 32 = \frac{1}{64} \cdot V^3 \]

Solve for \( V^3 \):
\[ V^3 = 32 \times 64 = 2048 \]

Take the cube root of both sides to solve for \( V \):
\[ V = \sqrt[3]{2048} \]

Since \( 2048 = 2^{11} \), we have:
\[ V = \sqrt[3]{2^{11}} = 2^{11/3} \]

Calculate \( 2^{11/3} \):
\[ 2^{11/3} = 2^3 \cdot 2^{1/3} = 8 \cdot \sqrt[3]{2} \]

Using the approximate value of \( \sqrt[3]{2} \approx 1.26 \):
\[ V \approx 8 \cdot 1.26 = 9.72 \]

Therefore, the wind velocity when the pressure on 4 square feet of sail is 32 pounds is approximately:
\[ \boxed{9.72} \] miles per hour.

[Assistant]
## Step 1: Understand the given problem and the student's solution
The problem states that the pressure \( P \) exerted by wind on a sail varies jointly as the area \( A \) of the sail and the cube of the wind's velocity \( V \). The given equation is \( P = k \cdot A \cdot V^3 \), where \( k \) is a constant of proportionality. The student is given that when \( V = 8 \) miles per hour, \( P = 4 \) pounds for \( A = 2 \) square feet, and needs to find \( V \) when \( P = 32 \) pounds for \( A = 4 \) square feet.

## Step 2: Check the student's calculation for the constant \( k \)
The student substitutes \( P = 4 \), \( A = 2 \), and \( V = 8 \) into the equation to find \( k \):
\[ 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 8^3 \]
\[ 4 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 512 \]
\[ 4 = k \cdot 1024 \]
\[ k = \frac{4}{1024} = \frac{1}{256} \]
This step is correct.

## Step 3: Verify the student's use of \( k \) to find \( V \) when \( P = 32 \) and \( A = 4 \)
The student uses \( k = \frac{1}{256} \), \( P = 32 \), and \( A = 4 \) to solve for \( V \):
\[ 32 = \frac{1}{256} \cdot 4 \cdot V^3 \]
\[ 32 = \frac{4}{256} \cdot V^3 \]
\[ 32 = \frac{1}{64} \cdot V^3 \]
\[ V^3 = 32 \times 64 \]
\[ V^3 = 2048 \]
This step is correct.

## Step 4: Check the student's calculation for \( V \)
The student calculates \( V \) as:
\[ V = \sqrt[3]{2048} \]
\[ V = \sqrt[3]{2^{11}} \]
\[ V = 2^{11/3} \]
\[ V = 2^3 \cdot 2^{2/3} \]
\[ V = 8 \cdot \sqrt[3]{2^2} \]
Noting that \( 2^{11/3} = 2^{3 + 2/3} = 8 \cdot 2^{2/3} \) and \( 2^{2/3} = (2^2)^{1/3} = 4^{1/3} \), the correct calculation directly for \( 2^{11/3} \) or \( \sqrt[3]{2048} \) should be directly computed.

## Step 5: Calculate \( \sqrt[3]{2048} \) directly
\( 2048 = 2^{11} \), so \( \sqrt[3]{2048} = \sqrt[3]{2^{11}} = 2^{11/3} \). To simplify this into a numerical value:
\[ 2^{11/3} = (2^{3})^{11/9} \] is not the right simplification; instead, we directly calculate \( 2^{11/3} \) or use the fact that \( 2048 = 2^{11} \) and find its cube root.

## Step 6: Evaluate \( 2^{11/3} \) numerically
\[ 2^{11/3} = 2^{3 + 2/3} = 8 \times (2^2)^{1/3} = 8 \times 4^{1/3} \]
\[ 4^{1/3} \approx 1.5874 \]
So, \( V \approx 8 \times 1.5874 = 12.6992 \)

## Step 7: Compare the student's final answer with the correct calculation
The student's final answer is \( \boxed{9.72} \) miles per hour, but the correct calculation yields \( V \approx 12.70 \) miles per hour.

The final answer is: $\boxed{12.7}$ [END]Conclusion: wrong
