Paperweight
I bought a pack of 100 rectangular index cards. Each card measured 15 by 10 cm. The pack said ：Paper Density = 200 GSM (grams per square meter). This means that a square meter of those cards weighs 200 g.
A) All of the cards in the pack are place flat on a table without overlap. In square meters, what is the total area of the table covered by the cards?
B) Each pack of cards is wrapped in a sheet of 50 GSM paper with an area of 800cm squared. I have a number of packs and wish to store them on a shelf that cannot hold more than 10 kg. What is the largest whole number of wrapped packs that can be stored?
C) The total weight of 500 identical sheets of paper is 2.4kg. If each sheet measures 30cm by 20cm, what is its paper density in GSM?
D) A business card measures 55mm by 90mm. Its paper density is 300 GSM. Fins its exact weight in grams.
Grains of fine California beach sand are approximately spheres with an average radius of 50 μm and are made of silicon dioxide, which has a density of 2.5 × 103 kg/m3. What mass of sand grains would have a total surface area (the total area of all the individual spheres) equal to the surface area of a cube 1.2 m on an edge?
The front yard outside your instructor's house has an approximate area of 130 m2. One night it snows so that the snow on the front yard has a uniform depth of 29.5 cm. What is the volume of this snow in cubic centimeters?
