4. Paper is solid in packets labelled 80 g/m2. This means that a sheet of paper of area 10 000cm? has a mass of 80 g. The thickness of each sheet is 0.11mm. What is the
density of the paper?
A 0.073 g/cm?
B 0.088 g/cm
C 0.73 g/cm3
D 0.88 g/cm
B
с

Option C. 0.73 g/cm³

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass = 80 g

Area (A) = 10000 cm²

Thickness = 0.11 mm

Density =?

Next, we shall convert 0.11 mm to cm. This can be obtained as follow:

10 mm = 1 cm

Therefore,

0.11 mm = 0.11 mm × 1 cm / 10 mm

0.11 mm = 0.011 cm

Thus, 0.11 mm is equivalent to 0.011 cm.

Next, we shall determine the volume of the paper. This can be obtained as follow:

Area (A) = 10000 cm²

Thickness = 0.011 cm

Volume =?

Volume = Area × Thickness

Volume = 10000 × 0.011

Volume = 110 cm³

Finally, we shall determine the density of the paper. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass = 80 g

Volume = 110 cm³

Density =?

Density = mass / volume

Density = 80 / 110

Density = 0.73 g/cm³

Therefore the density of the paper is 0.73 g/cm³
