Chapter 3, Problem 1RQ
List several reasons that density is an important material property.
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
Express the list of several reasons that density is an important material property.
Explanation of Solution
List of reasons showing below:
- 1. The first main reason is that density relates to weight as the formula for calculating density is mass per unit volume.
- 2. The second main reason is that weight saving is required for automotive bodies, aircraft and aerospace structure, and other energy consuming products.
- 3. Also the density plays an important role in specific strength, also known as strength to weight ratio, and specific fitness, also known as stiffness to weight ratio.
