Measuring the Thickness of Aluminum FoilYour goal in this exercise is to determine the thickness of aluminum foil and to express your answer to the proper degree of uncertainty (that is, with the correct number of significant digits).Given a sheet of aluminum foil, determine its thickness using the following hintsThe foil sheet has a fairly basic 3-d shape and you know an equation to find the volume of that shape.Hand-in: Report a value for the thickness of aluminum foil, in units of centimeters and micrometersUse both words and specific calculations (no matter how minor) to explain how you arrived at this valueRemember to pay attention to significant digits.
Continue to fold it in half (or cut it in half) as many times as you can Put a very heavy and extremely flat weight on it to remove any air gaps Measure the height of the flat surface above a flat table Repeat measurement at different locations on the flat surface Average the measurements Divide by the number of layers.
