Express the statement as a formula that involves the given variables and a constant of proportionality $k,$ and then determine the value of $k$ from the given conditions. $y$ is directly proportional to the square of $x$ and inversely proportional to the square root of $z$. If $x=5$ and $z=16$ then $y=10$
