What is the driffrent numbers on the side of the pencils for?
The number of the pencil is based on the type of carbon lead used inside. The thicker the carbon lead gets the higher the number of the pencil becomes. If you notice a mechanical pencil is 0.9mm in diameter so it would be called a #0.9 pencil. A #2 pencil's lead is 2mm in diameter. So Why would we call a pencil a #3 pencil? Because it's lead is 3mm in diameter.
Is 0.5 lead the same thing as a number 2 pencil?
Actually, what you are asking is referring to the hardness of the pencil. So both, 0.5mm and 0.7mm are the same hardness as number two pencils. The number of lead, 0.5, is a thinner lead in diameter to the 0.7.
What is the standard inches of a number 2 pencil?
A standard number 2 pencil typically measures 7.5 inches in length when unsharpened. The diameter of the pencil is generally around 0.3 inches. This size is commonly used for standardized tests and general writing purposes.
What is 6mm in diameter?
An ordinary pencil is one example.
What steps do you use to find the volume of a pencil?
For finding accurate volume of a pencil use a vernier calliper, which measures diameter up to two significant figures. For finding volume of a pencil you will need radius (r) and length (L) of the pencil. V = 3.14 r²L
