Answer

Area $A=3.17460\times10^{2}m^2$

Work Step by Step

From table number 11.1 Density of silver $\rho=10500kg/m^3$ from $\rho=\frac{M}{V}$ $V=\frac{M}{\rho}$ given that mass used for pounding $M=1kg$ so volume of $1kg $ silver will be $V=\frac{1kg}{10500kg/m^3}$ $V=9.52381\times10^{-5}m^3$ now this is converted to thin sheets of thickness $t=3.00\times10^{-7}m$ if area of such sheet is $A$ then volume of sheet is $V$=$thickness$ x $area$ $V=t\times A$ $A=\frac{V}{A}$ putting $V=9.52381\times10^{-5}m^3$, $t=3.00\times10^{-7}m$ Area $A=\frac{9.52381\times10^{-5}m^3}{3.00\times10^{-7}m}$ Area $A=3.17460\times10^{2}m^2$
