Efficiency of packing



In this project you can calculate the efficieny of packing spherical,circular or cylindrical object in a box with given dimensions in two ways.


1. Square packing. In this arrange spheres in square manner i.e. the centres of adjoining spheres must make a square then side of square is 2r if radius of the sphere is r. Calculate the volume of the box and volume occupied by the balls


efficiency = volume ocuupied by object * 100 %


---------------------


volume of the box


2. Hexagonal packing. In this you can arrange spheres in the hexagonal manneri.e. the centres of adjoining spheres make hexagon and calculate its efficiency.


Observe which packing is efficient.


Also you can relate various examples in daily life to ensure which packing is efficient.
