Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 58EAP
Saturn’s Thin Rings. Saturn’s ring system is more than 270,000 kilometers wide and only a few tens of meters thick; let’s assume it is 50 meters thick for this problem. Assuming the rings could be shrunk down so that their diameter was the width of a dollar bill (6.6 cm), how thick would the rings be? Compare your answer to the actual thickness of a dollar bill (0.01 cm).
