Properties of Solids
What makes a solid?
A community workshop is choosing materials for a small footbridge and a protective case. You are the science adviser. Use particle ideas and measured properties to make defensible recommendations.
- Its particles are far apart and move freely.
- Its particles are closely packed and strongly resist being pushed into new positions.
- Its particles have no motion at all.
- Its particles spread out to fill the vice.
Density evidence
The workshop tests four solid samples. Each sample is a regular block. Use the measurements below; density is measured in g/cm³.
Sample A: mass 54 g; volume 20 cm³. Material: aluminium.
Sample B: mass 78 g; volume 10 cm³. Material: steel.
Sample C: mass 18 g; volume 20 cm³. Material: pine wood.
Sample D: mass 40 g; volume 20 cm³. Material: acrylic.
Choose and evaluate materials
The footbridge needs a strong, dense material for a compact support. The protective case should be light enough to carry. Density alone does not measure strength, so avoid claiming more than the evidence allows.
