question 18

Multiple Choice

O'Carroll's formula is used to handicap weight lifters. If a lifter, who weighs $b$ kilograms, lifts $w$ kilograms of weight, then the handicapped weight W is given by: $W = \frac { w } { \sqrt [ 3 ] { b - 35 } }$ Suppose two lifters weighing 73 kilograms and 89 kilograms lift weights of 273 kilograms and 210 kilograms, respectively. Use O'Carroll's formula to determine the superior weight lifter.
