Determine Aluminum Foil Thickness


Equipment

Today, we learnt how to calculate to thickness of aluminum foil.


Procedure

1.  Use a centigram balance to measure the mass(g) of a rectangular piece of aluminum foil. 
2.  Use the metric ruler to measure the length(cm) and width(cm) of the aluminum foil. 
3.  Record the measurement in the table.
4.  Repeat the procedure above two more times.

Since we've already known the density of aluminum is 2.7 g/cm3, by using the formula V=M/D, and V=LGH, we can calculate the thickness of aluminum foil!
