g Asbestos is a fibrous silicate mineral with remarkably high tensile strength. But is no longer used because airborne asbestos particles can cause lung cancer. Grunerite, a type of asbestos, has a tensile strength of 3.5 × 10ଶ kg mmଶ ⁄ (meaning a strand of grunerite with a 1-mmଶ cross-sectional area can hold up to 3.5 × 10ଶ kg). The tensile strength of aluminum and Steel No. 5137 are 2.4 × 10ସ lb inଶ ⁄ and 5.0 × 10ସ lb inଶ ⁄ respectively. Calculate the cross section areas in mmଶ of wires of aluminum and of Steel No. 5137 that have the same tensile strength as a fiber of grunerite with a cross-sectional area of 1.0 μmଶ
