a tape is weighed and found to weigh 1.95 lb. the overall length of the 100-ft tape (end to end) is 102.00 ft. the specific weight of steel is 490 lb/ft?. what is the cross-sectional area of the tape?

Sagot :

The cross-sectional area of the tape is determined as 3.9 x 10⁻⁵ ft².

Volume of the tape

The volume of the tape is calculated as follows;

volume = mass/density

volume = (1.95 lb)/(490 lb/ft³)

volume = 3.98 x 10⁻³ ft³

Area of the tape

V  = AL

A = V/L

A = 3.98 x 10⁻³ ft³/102 ft

A = 3.9 x 10⁻⁵ ft²

Thus, the cross-sectional area of the tape is determined as 3.9 x 10⁻⁵ ft².
