Question

Oranges of identical size are packed (body-centered cubic pattern, packing factor = 0.68) into a 0.2621 m³ cubic container for storage and shipment. When completely filled, the oranges in the container have a specific surface area of 51 m?¹. Estimate the number of oranges required to fill a container. Ignore edge effects (i.e., for this exercise, we are ok with partial oranges along the edges of the box).

Step 1

68 means that 68% of the space in the container is occupied by oranges. Therefore, the volume of oranges in the container can be calculated as: Volume of oranges = 0.68 * 0.2621 m^3 Volume of oranges = 0.178 m^3 To find the volume of one orange, we divide the Show more…

Oranges of identical size are packed (body-centered cubic pattern, packing factor =0.68 ) into a 0.2621m^(3) cubic container for storage and shipment. When completely filled, the oranges in the container have a specific surface area of 51m^(-1). Estimate the number of oranges required to fill a container. Ignore edge effects (i.e., for this exercise, we are ok with partial oranges along the edges of the box). Oranges of identical size are packed (body-centered cubic pattern, packing factor = 0.68) into a 0.2621 m3 cubic container for storage and shipment. When completely filled, the oranges in the container have a specific surface area of 51 m-1. Estimate the number of oranges required to fill a container. Ignore edge effects(i.e.,for this exercise,we are ok with partial oranges along the edges of the box)
