What is the relationship between the length of a side and the surface area-to-volume ratio of a cell?

As size increases, the s/v ratio decreases-- the s/v ratio of a cubic cell 1mm on a side is 6, but the s/v ratio of a cubic cell 3mm on a side is only 2.


In a deck of cards what is the ratio of 2's to 10's?

There are four of each, so 1 to 1.


How do you find the ratio of the perimeters and areas?

There is no simple answer. For an equilateral triangle it is 6.9282/s where s is the length of each side. For a square it is 4/s A regular pentagon: 2.9062/s A regular hexagon: 2.3094/s and so on. The ratio for a circle is 2/r where r is the radius. For irregular polygons there is no rule.


What is the ratio of the volume of the larger cube to the smaller cube?

It is (S/s)3 where S and s are the lengths of the sides of the larger and smaller cubes, respectively.


How do you divide quantities in a given ratio?

The first part of this answer is algebraic; see the example below for how it works out in practice. Suppose you have a total quantity N that you want to divide in the ratio a:b:c. Add a, b and c that is, a+b+c = s. Calulate N/s, the value of each unit in the ratio. then a*(N/s), b*(N/s) and c*(N/s) are the required amounts. Example: Divide 60 sweets in the ratio 2:3:5 N = 60 s = 2+3+5 = 10 therefore N/s = 60/10 = 6. [Therefore, each 1 in the ratio is worth 6 sweets]. The required division of the sweets is 2*6, 3*6 and 5*6 = 12, 18 and 30. This process can be extended to dividing quantities into ratios comprising four or more numbers in an analogous fashion.

What is better type s or n mortar mix?

The decision of whether type s or n mortar mix is better is determined by the application. N type mortar is used for above grade applications which see harsh weather while S type is used below grade like in ground application.

Can type s mortar be used without sand?

You can use it to make stucco, lay brick and block, or bed-in fiberglass tubs and shower stalls.


Can you use type S mortar for a shower pan?

No. Premixed Type S mortar contains lime, which will cause it to shrink and crack. Best to use Portland cement mixed with masonry sand and a small amount of water. Should be mixed to a nearly dry consistency and "dry-packed."


What is the suitable mortar for limestone masonry?

I would use type S mortar for vertical applications and portland cement for horizontal work. Portland will work for either but it is rough on your skin and hands.

What is the difference between type s and type n mortar?

S contains 2 parts portland cement, 1 part hydrated lime and 9 parts sand, and yields maximum flexural strength to fight wind, soil pressure or earthquakes. Type N is a medium compressive-strength mortar made of 1 part portland cement, 1 part lime and 6 parts sand. Type N is recommended for most exterior, above-grade walls exposed to severe weather, including chimneys. Type S mortar is recommended for AT grade or below grade exterior applications. Type N is recommended for above grade apps.


Do you add fine sand to type s mortar mix?

None,,type s mortar already has sand.Type S is sometimes specified for masonry at or below grade, but offers another quality. S has high compressive strength (1800 psi) but adds high tensile bond strength. S contains 2 parts portland cement, 1 part hydrated lime and 9 parts sand, and yields maximum flexural strength to fight wind, soil pressure or earthquakes. Also makes the best stucco.

Suggest factors that determine the efficiency of mixing?

1. Temperature - proportional with the rate of mixing 2. Agitation speed - proportional with the rate of mixing 3. The number of blades use - more blade is better as it will increase the inter-facial area between the liquids. 4. Type of Liquid(s) used
