Question 1035519: A miniature model for a sculpture weighs about 10 ounces and stands 8 inches high. The actual model is to be 3 feet high and weigh about 25 pounds. Can it be made from the same material as the model? If not, how should its weight per cubic inch compare to that of the model material? Answer by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! find the volume relationship between the two objects, the large to the small
3 ft = 36" = 91.125 times the small one
Find the weight relationship.
25 lb = 400 oz = 40 times the small one; obviously made of different materials
:
40/91.125 = .439 times the cu/inch of the model material is the material of the larger object of have a weight of 25 lb
