The rolling mill rolls steel sheets with a size of 6, 15 meters. The weight of each sheet is 355.5 kg. what is the thickness of the sheet?

Given:

a = 6 meters – the length of the steel sheet;

b = 15 meters – the width of the steel sheet;

m = 355.5 kilograms is the mass of the steel sheet;

ro = 7800 kg / m3 (kilogram per cubic meter) – steel density.

It is required to determine c (meter) – the thickness of the steel sheet.

Find the volume of the steel sheet:

V = m / ro = 355.5 / 7800 = 0.046 m3 (the result has been rounded to one thousandth).

Find the area of the steel sheet:

s = a * b = 6 * 15 = 90 m2.

Then the thickness of the steel sheet will be:

c = V / s = 0.046 / 90 = 0.0005 meters = 0.5 millimeters.

Answer: The thickness of the steel sheet is 0.5 millimeters.
