Calculate marble’s volume & density Looking for: Givens: Solving Problems Calculate marble’s volume & density Looking for: volume, then density Givens: mass = 6 g , water displaced 30 to 32 mL Relationships: water displaced = marble volume, D = m/V Solution: 32 mL – 30 mL = 2 mL D = 6 g / 2 mL = 3 g/mL
2.4 How to solve design problems Use what you know to design a solution that solves the problem. Unlike “formula problems,” design problems have many correct solutions. The solutions are only limited by your creativity, ingenuity, skill, and patience.
2.4 How to solve design problems What does your design need to accomplish? What constraints do you have? Think of an idea. Follow the design cycle…
