On breaking a cubic solid (edge = 1 m) into fine cubic particles of edge 1 \mum\mum , surface becomes n×100000n \times 100000 . The value of n is?

Correct answer

10.00

Step-by-step solution

For a cube of dimension (1m×1m×1m)( 1m \times 1m \times 1m ) , the surface area
=(1×1)×6= ( 1 \times 1 ) \times 6 faces
=6m2×(1\mum10−6m)2= 6{m}^{2} \times {\left(\dfrac{1\mum}{1{0}^{- 6}m}\right)}^{2}
=6×1012(\mum)2= 6 \times 1{0}^{12} ( \mum{)}^{2}
The volume =1m3\times(1 \mum10−6m)3\text{=}\text{1}{\text{m}}^{\text{3}} \text{\times}{\left(\dfrac{\text{1 \mu m}}{{\text{10}}^{- \text{6}} \text{m}}\right)}^{\text{3}}
=1018(\mum)3= 1{0}^{18} ( \mum{)}^{3}
For 10181{0}^{18} cubes of dimension (1\mum×1\mum×1\mum)( 1\mum \times 1\mum \times 1\mum ) , the total surface area
=1018×1\mum×1\mum×6faces= 1{0}^{18} \times 1\mum \times 1\mum \times 6faces
=6×1018(\mum)2= 6 \times 1{0}^{18} ( \mum{)}^{2}
On breaking, the surface area becomes
=6×1018(\mum)26×1012(\mum)2= \dfrac{6 \times 1{0}^{18} ( \mum{)}^{2}}{6 \times 1{0}^{12} ( \mum{)}^{2}} times
= 1000000 times
Hence n = 10
