1.	The volume of a block of gold is 0.5 m3. If it is hammered into a sheet to cover an area of 1 hectare, find the thickness of the sheet.
Answer» It is given that, Volume of the block = 0.5 m³ We know that, 1 hectare = 10000 m² Therefore, Thickness of the sheet = volume/area = 0.5/10000 = 0.00005 m = 0.005 cm = 0.05 mm

The volume of a block of gold is 0.5 m3. If it is hammered into a sheet to cover an area of 1 hectare, find the thickness of the sheet.

Answer»

It is given that,

Volume of the block = 0.5 m³

We know that,

1 hectare = 10000 m²

Therefore,

Thickness of the sheet = volume/area

= 0.5/10000

= 0.00005 m

= 0.005 cm

= 0.05 mm
