I will give medal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Paper is sold in packets labelled \[80g/m^2\] This means that a sheet of paper of area \[10000cm^2\]has a mass of 80g. The thickness of each sheet is 0.11mm. What is the density of the paper?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know that density=mass/volume but they have not given volume of sheet

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think that 80g/m^2 is density but they have mistaken it by not writing m^3

OpenStudy (math&ing001):

Yes that's missing. Maybe it's assumed that they're talking about standard form papers like A4.

OpenStudy (math&ing001):

Oh wait !

OpenStudy (paki):

please have a look here... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_density

OpenStudy (math&ing001):

You have the area, to get the volume just multiply by the thickness.

OpenStudy (paki):

yeah, you must have the thickness of the paper here... @sheelo_mughal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

options are \[1)0.073g/cm^3\] \[2)0.088g/cm^3\] \[3)0.73g/cm^3\] \[4)0.88g/cm^3\]

OpenStudy (math&ing001):

Which one do you think is right ?

OpenStudy (math&ing001):

Volume = 10000 * 0.011 (cm^3) Density = mass / volume
