Question

Adhesive tape made from fabric has a tensile strength of not less than 20.41 kg/2.54 cm of width. Reduce these quantities to grams and millimeters.

Answer 1

`\frac{20,410 \text{ grams}}{254\text{ mm}}`

Explanation:

We have been given that adhesive tape made from fabric has a tensile strength of not less than 20.41 kg/2.54 cm of width. We are asked to reduce these quantities to grams and millimeters.

We know 1 kg equals 1000 grams and 1 cm equals 10 mm.

`\frac{20.41\text{ kg}}{\text{2.54 cm}}`

`\frac{20.41\text{ kg}}{\text{2.54 cm}}* \frac{\text{1 cm}}{\text{10 mm}}`

`\frac{20.41\text{ kg}}{2.54*\text{10 mm}}`

`\frac{20.41\text{ kg}}{254\text{ mm}}`

`\frac{20.41\text{ kg}}{254\text{ mm}}* \frac{\text{1000 grams}}{\text{1 kg}}`

`\frac{20.41* \text{1000 grams}}{254\text{ mm}}`

`\frac{20,410 \text{ grams}}{254\text{ mm}}`

Therefore, our required measurement would be
`\frac{20,410 \text{ grams}}{254\text{ mm}}`.
