Gold, which has a density of19.32g/cm3, is the most ductile metal and can be pressed into a thin leaf or drawn out into a long fiber. (a) If a sample of gold, with a mass of 27.63 g, is pressed into a leaf of 1.000 µm thickness, what is the area of the leaf? (b) If, instead, the gold is drawn out into a cylindrical fiber of radius 2.500 µm, what is the length of the fiber?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a). The area of the leaf is 1.430m2

(b). The length of the fiber is 7.284x104

Step by step solution

01

Given data

The density of gold, 19.32g/cm3

The mass of gold, m=27.63g

The thickness of a leaf, role="math" localid="1654513937755" t=1.000μ³¾

The radius of fiber, r=2.500μ³¾

02

Understanding the density of a material

The density of a material (in this case gold) is defined as the mass per unit volume. In this problem, the volume of gold is equal to the volume of gold pressed into a leaf and long fiber.

The expression for density is given as:

p=mv … (i)

Here, pis the density, mis the mass and v is the volume.

03

Determination of volume of gold

Using equation (i), the volume of gold is calculated as:

V=mp=27.63g19.32g/cm3=1.430cm3

Now, convert the volume 1.430cm3intom3.

1cm3=1×10-6m3

Therefore,

V=1.430cm3×1×10-6m31cm3=1.430×10-6m3

04

(a) Determination of the area of a leaf

Convert the thickness 1.000μ³¾into m.

1.000μ³¾=1×10-6m

The expression for the area of the leaf is,

A=Vt

Substitute the values in the above expression.

A=1.430×10-6m31×10-6m

Thus, the area of the leaf is 1.430m2.

05

(b) Determination of the length of the fiber

The volume of the cylinder is given as:

V=A×L … (ii)

Here, A is the cross section area and L is the length.

The cross-section area of cylinder is given as:

A=πr2 … (iii)

Here, r is the radius of the cylinder.

From equation (ii) and (iii),

L=Vπr2 … (Iv)

Substitute the values ofr andV in equation (iv).

L=1.430×10-6m33.142×(2.500×10-6m)2=7.284×104m

A certain gyroscope consists of a uniform disk with a 50cm radius mounted at the centre of an axle that is11cmlong and of negligible mass. The axle is horizontal and supported at one end. If the disk is spinning around the axle at1000rev/min, what is the precession rate?

The force on a particle is directed along an x axis and given byF=F0(xx0-1). Find the work done by the force in moving the particle from x=0tox=x0 by (a) plotting F(x) and measuring the work from the graph and (b) integratingF(x).

Suppose that, while lying on a beach near the equator watching the Sunset over a calm ocean, you start a stopwatch just as the top of the Sun disappears. You then stand, elevating your eyes by a height H = 1.70 m, and stop the watch when the top of the Sun again disappears. If the elapsed time is t = 11.1 s, what is the radius r of Earth?

An ion source is producingLi6ions, which have charge+eand mass9.99×10-27kg. The ions are accelerated by a potentialdifference of10kV and pass horizontally into a region in whichthere is a uniform vertical magnetic field of magnitudeB=1.2T.Calculate the strength of the smallest electric field, to be set upover the same region that will allow theLi6 ions to pass throughun-deflected.

You can easily convert common units and measures electronically, but you still should be able to use a conversion table, such as those in Appendix D. Table 1-6 is part of a conversion table for a system of volume measures once common in Spain; a volume of 1 fanega is equivalent to 55.501 dm3 (cubic decimeters). To complete the table, what numbers (to three significant figures) should be entered in (a) the cahiz column, (b) the fanega column, (c) the cuartilla column, and (d) the almude column, starting with the top blank? Express 7.00 almudes in (e) medios, (f) cahizes, and (g) cubic centimeters (cm3)
