Answer to Problem 46R

  65×104

Explanation of Solution

Given Information: The numbers of nanotubes required to stack together= n

The diameter of the tube = 1 billionth of a meter.

The diameter of the copper wire = 0.65mm

Formula Used:

One billion = 1000000000

One billionth of a meter = 11000000000m

So, one billionth of a meter = 1×109m

Calculation:

  n×1×109m = 0.65mm

  n=0.65mm1×109

as 1m= 1000 mm

  n=0.65mm1×109

  n=65×104
