The answer is any body with one dimension much smaller than the rest.

eg a very thin plate with t,w,L as dimensions representing thickness width and

length respectively.

if t<<w,L than

surface area = 2*w*L (approx.)

Volume= t*w*L

hence S/V ratio =2/t (approx)

now since "t" is very small we have a large S/V raio...

If the surface area of a cell is 42 cm squared then what is the volume?

Lack of given information to answer the question.


What is maximum and minimum electric flux?

As we know that electric flux is the total number of electric lines of forces passing through a surface. Maximum Flux: Electric flux through a surface will be maximum when electric lines of forces are perpendicular to the surface. Minimum flux: Electric flux through a surface will be minimum or zero when electric lines of forces are parallel to the surface.


How do you find SA ratio with volume ratio?

The surface-area-to-volume ratio also called the surface-to-volume ratio and variously denoted sa/volor SA:V, is the amount of surface area per unit volume of an object or collection of objects. The surface-area-to-volume ratio is measured in units of inverse distance. A cube with sides of length a will have a surface area of 6a2 and a volume of a3. The surface to volume ratio for a cube is thus shown as .For a given shape, SA:V is inversely proportional to size. A cube 2 m on a side has a ratio of 3 m&minus;1, half that of a cube 1 m on a side. On the converse, preserving SA:V as size increases requires changing to a less compact shape.


The surface area of a box when given the surface area height and peremeter?

It should be relatively easy to find the surface area of a box when you are given the surface area.


Which geometric object is defined as the set if all points in a plane at a given distance at a given point?

A circle is the set of all points in a plane at a given distance FROM a given point, which is known as the circle's center.
