activity 5.6
description
What do you need to know about a product before it is built? Would you need to know its volume, surface area, or weight? Would the product weigh less if it were made of aluminum or mild steel? What about copper, brass, or cast iron? How could this information impact the product design?
How can you find the properties of a product before it is built? You can calculate them mathematically, providing you have the material specifications, but it will take time. In today’s busy, fast-paced world, engineers use solid modeling software programs to speed up the calculating process. However, the user of the software must understand what the software is doing in order to estimate the answers and to be able to recognize a possible error.

conclusion
What do you need to know in order to perform a physical property analysis?
You need to know density, mass, surface area, and volume
Why is it important to understand the mathematics used in physical property analysis?
So the proper measurement can be derived from it.
Why is it important to perform a physical property analysis prior to producing a part?
So you can produce the part with the highest accuracy possible.
The clear enclosure piece and the wheels of the Automoblox are manufactured from polycarbonate. Do you think that the connector pieces are also manufactured from polycarbonate? Justify your answer.
It depends on the density of the item--adjusted for size differences, of course. If it's the same ratio, then yes.
