Solutions to the
Practice Problems
from
J.F. Shackelford, Introduction to Materials
Science for Engineers, 6th Edition, Prentice-
Hall, Upper Saddle River, NJ, 2005
Beginning with Chapter 2, a set of Practice Problems follows
immediately after worked-out Sample Problems. These exercises
follow directly from the preceding solutions and are intended to
provide a carefully guided journey into the first calculations in each
new area. The solutions provided here allow students to independently
check their own approach to these problems.Section 2.1 - Atomic Structure
PP 21 Calculate the number of atoms contained in a cylinder 1 wm in
Glameter by 1 wm deep of (a) magnesium and (b) lead. (See
Sample Problem 2.1.)
