Question

you have to find the thickness of a single page of your notebook. The number of pages in your notebook is 100. What technique will you apply to measure it? Explain ​

Answer 1

Answer:

It is highly unlikely that you can. The smallest measure marked on a 10 cm ruler is probably 1 mm. The thickness of a sheet of regular paper is 0.004 inches which is 0.1016 mm, too small to measure with your ruler. HOWEVER, there is a way to quite accurately calculate it. Count out a known number of sheets of the paper (100 for example). Measure the stack and divide the answer by the number of sheets in your stack.

Explanation:

Now, let's say you found the thickness of the bundle to be one inch thick. To get the thickness of a single page, divide the total thickness by the number of pages: That is, 1/250=0.004. The thickness of each piece of paper is 0.004 inches.19-Sept-2018
