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

An old manuscript reveals that a landowner in the time of King Arthur held 3.00 acres of plowed land plus a livestock area of 25.0 perches by 4.00 perches. What was the total area in (a) the old unit of roods and (b) the more modern unit of square meters? Here, 1 acre is an area of 40 perches by 4 perches, 1 rood is an area of 40 perches by 1 perch, and 1 perch is the length 16.5 ft.

A standard interior staircase has steps each with a rise (height) of 19 cm and a run (horizontal depth) of 23 cm. Research suggests that the stairs would be safer for descent if the run were, instead, 28 cm. For a particular staircase of total height 4.57 m, how much farther into the room would the staircase extend if this change in run were made?

Question: Spacing in this book was generally done in units of points and picas: 12 Points = 1 pica , and 6 picas =1 inch. If a figure was misplaced in the page proofs by 0.80cm , what was the misplacement in (a) picas and (b) points?
