Determine how many kilograms of steel will be needed to make 10,000 jumbo paperclips. The additional information
Question:
Determine how many kilograms of steel will be needed to make 10,000 jumbo paperclips. The additional information you have is density of steel is 8050 kg/m3. The only tools that you can use are a ruler and a calculator.The paperclip cannot not be physically altered.
1. [2pts] State the objectives:
2. [4pts] Making observations: List what you can observe about paper clips. List any reasonable assumptions you can make to solve this problem. Include diagrams, when appropriate.
3. [4pts] Identify the known and unknown variables: Include all of the unknowns in addition to the solution that the problem asks for. Include proper units and cite any references that you use as appropriate.
4. [5pts] Identify the relationships between the known and unknown variables: List the equations that relate the variables, manipulate the equations to isolate the unknown quantities, and write equations clearly using the variables you defined in the previous steps. Cite any references that you use as appropriate. Don't substitute in the values yet!
5. [3pts] Find the solution: Insert numerical value of the variables into the equations, check the unit, check if the answer makes physical sense.
6. [2pts] What are the mathematical, physics, and/or engineering concepts that you need to solve this problem?
