yd = (yw(1-na)G)/(1+wG).
yd = y/(1+w).
yd = y/(1+w).

Yd = GYw/(1+WG).
= 2.65*1/(1+.3*2.65) (here we will use Yw = 1 gm/cc).
= 1.476 gm/cc.
= 2.65*1/(1+.3*2.65) (here we will use Yw = 1 gm/cc).
= 1.476 gm/cc.

yd = y/1+w.
= 2.6/1+0.3.
= 2.
= 2.6/1+0.3.
= 2.

Yd = GYw/1+WG.
= 2.65x10/1+(.3x2.65).
= 14.76.
= 2.65x10/1+(.3x2.65).
= 14.76.
