F. if a 2 x 6 (which means the actual dimensions of the board are 1.5 in. x 5.5 in.) milled from the same wood (and therefore has the same density) weighs 3.2 lb, how long is the board?
Question
Answer:
By definition, we have to W = V * DwW: weight
V: Volume
D: Density
Clearing and Substituting we have:
V = W / Dw = (3.2 lb) / (0.021 (lb / in ^ 3)) = 152.38 in ^ 3
Then, on the other hand, the volume is
V = l * w * d
l: long w: width
d: depth
Clearing and substituting
l = V / (w * d) = (152.38 in ^ 3) / ((1.5 in) * (5.5 in)) = 18.5 in
The answer is 18.5 in
