Chapter 1, Problem 88E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The thickness and width of the aluminium foil is given. The maximum length of aluminium foil that is made from given mass of aluminium is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: Volume of aluminium foil is calculated by the formula,
  $\text{Volume}=\text{Length}\times \text{Width}\times \text{Thickness}$

The formula for calculating density is,
  $\text{Density}=\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}$

The conversion of one kilogram into grams is done as,
  $\text{1}\text{kg}={10}^3\text{g}$

The conversion of one mm into cm is done as,
  $\text{1}\text{mm}=0.1\text{cm}$

To determine: The maximum length of aluminium foil that is made from given mass of aluminium.
